Community Rallies Around Carnaross Boy Facing Second Leukemia Fight

The community of Carnaross has come together to support four-year-old Lorcán Farrell as he faces another challenging chapter in his battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Lorcán, son of Abbie Lynch and Oisín Farrell, was first diagnosed in January 2024, just after his second birthday. He has undergone weekly chemotherapy treatments at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, showing remarkable resilience throughout.

“We were just five months shy of him ringing the bell,” said Abbie. “He was meant to ring it in February. But the day after his fourth birthday in September, we got the call. His recent lumbar puncture showed the cancer cells were back.”

The family is now preparing for treatment abroad as they face this new challenge. Author's summary: Lorcán faces second leukemia fight.
