Young GAA star, 14, hit with cancer diagnosis three years after mum's death as family blown away by support

The family of a young GAA star have been blown away by the response to a GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising funds to support their 14-year-old daughter's cancer diagnosis.

Emma Langan, a third-year student in Gortnor Abbey, Crossmolina, Co Mayo, was diagnosed with leukaemia earlier this year.

It's the second time in recent years that the family have been affected by illness after Emma's mum, Yvonne, sadly passed away in 2019.
