Published:

On May 1, 2021, David McGrath ran 52km around the green in Lakeview, Castlebar, fundraising for Rare Diseases Ireland (RDI) in memory of Nikita O’Malley.

Nikita suddenly passed away in February this year due to two extremely rare immune system conditions - Stills Disease and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)

Due to an amazing response by the local community, friends and family of Nikita, €10,865 was raised for RDI and presented to Vicky McGrath (CEO, RDI).
