€63,000 raised for new mum Chloe
MORE than €63,000 has been raised so far for Graiguenamanagh woman Chloe Kavanagh, who is battling cancer.
1,300 people have made contributions to a fundraiser for the popular young mother’s family to date.
More than €35,500 was raised in less than 20 hours for the family of Chloe last Sunday and Monday, who, having beaten Covid-19, is battling cancer.
Chloe was just 20 weeks into her first pregnancy when she was diagnosed with a stage 3 brain tumour in November. On March 2 Chloe and her husband of two years, Ian, welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Sam six weeks early, into the world.
Just two weeks after Sam was born, Chloe had to leave him to begin six weeks of radiotherapy in Beaumont.
During this time she was dealt another blow when she tested positive for Covid-19 and had to remain in isolation for the remainder of this treatment.
However, being the amazing fighter that she is, Chloe beat the virus and was able to continue with her radiotherapy and finally get back home to Sam, Ian and her family.
Her time at home again was very short lived and she was again brought back to Beaumont one week later with some complications.
Her good friends Shannon O’Neill, Laura Bolger and Kelly Ann Whelan, seeing her suffer and wanting to do something for the family, decided to go all out with a head shave on June 13.
