A COMMUNITY 5k walk and run takes place tomorrow in Creeslough to raise money for the Callum Friel fund.

Callum, a 16-year-old sportsman from Dunfanaghy, was diagnosed with leukaemia in September 2018 and suffered a relapse in 2019.

Callum has received treatment at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital and St James’ Hospital in Dublin.

Prior to his diagnosis, Callum played for St Michael’s and Dunfanaghy Youths, while he represented his school, St Eunan’s College and the Donegal Schoolboys League.

Callum has now been referred to receive a bone marrow transplant.

A series of fundraising events have been organised.

Tomorrow’s walk and run starts at 2pm, with registration at the Wild Atlantic Camp, Creeslough from 1pm.

Tea and refreshments will be erved afterwards along with a prize draw.
