Cork mum raises life-saving funds for her twins
A Douglas mother has just seven days to raise over €34,000 for life saving procedures for her 18-month old twin daughters. Audrey Murnane's little girls, Zoe and Maya, were born with a congenital airway condition that affects the trachea. Maya is also unable to eat solids.
