Fundraising drive has been launched for a Cork teenager left paralysed after fall in snow
19-year-old Jack O’Driscoll was out walking in Mayfield on March 1st when he fell awkwardly and sustained serious injuries.
He was rushed to Cork University Hospital after the incident and was then transferred to Dublin to undergo surgery in the Mater Hospital.
He is currently in the hospital's High Dependency Unit and it's hoped from there he'll be transferred to the National Rehabilitation Hospital to continue his treatment.
Following an appeal on the Neil Prendeville Show on Cork's RedFM yesterday morning donations have been pouring in.
