Alfie’s Fight: Hope in Every Step | Galway News
Description
A six-year-old hurling-loving boy from Galway, Alfie, is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia after a sudden diagnosis that shattered his family’s world. Despite brutal chemotherapy, transfusions, and allergic reactions, Alfie keeps smiling — a beacon of hope amid isolation and pain. To support him through a grueling 2.5-3 year battle, his cousin Shane and his brothers are hiking 44km along the Slieve Felim Way, raising over €32,000 through a GoFundMe to cover medical costs and his mom’s lost income. The hike ends in Tipperary with a live music fundraiser — all proceeds directly fueling Alfie’s recovery. His family humbly asks for more than donations — they want Alfie to just be a kid again.
