Seamus Coleman has once again showed what a fantastic person he is by donating €5,000 towards a fundraising initiative to help a little boy realise his dream of walking.

A fundraising initiative has been set up to help little Rory Gallagher (4) who has cerebral palsy, achieve his wish to one day be able to walk.

His family need to raise 10,000 in order for him to receive surgeries in the USA.

The Everton and Ireland star got behind the fundraising drive and donated €5,000, which is half of what they need.

Rory’s mum Shauna posted the following message on her Facebook timeline, “Shaking here in the kitchen from excitement !!! Happiest tears EVER ~ I can’t believe that Seamie Coleman 💙⚽️ has just donated €5,000 towards little Rory Gallagher’s Wish To Walk 💙Seamie your amazing!!!

“This is just the happy news that we needed. Seamie you have just made a massive impact on our wee Rory’s future. He will WALK for sure !!!!!!!

“He has been accepted into a neurological center in Spain – for rehabilitation following his Surgery in December, the costs are very high & we could’nt figure out how we work it …….but now its going to happen – words cant describe what this means to us a family but especially wee Rory ❣I’m still crying !!

“Thank you so much Seamie xxx Sending you lots of love & biggest hugs Shauna, Gerry & little Rory G xxx!”

What an incredible gesture from a great person, and we hope little Rory gets to the USA in December for his surgery.
