A well-known little Glenties lad and his family are celebrating after he was given some good news after he was initially diagnosed with leukaemia three years ago.
But little Danny McLoone is a battler.
Earlier this week along with his family, the 8 year old ended his treatment and ‘rang the bell’ at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin.
Danny is the son of well-known Naomh Conaill star footballer Johnny and wife Geraldine.
And with hundreds of well-wishers praising Danny, it won’t be long before he surpasses his daddy’s achievements.
Danny’s family say they are looking forward to “the next chapter in our lives.”
The McLoone Butchers Killybegs Facebook page also posted in a stunning video of Danny on his journey through his treatment.
What a smile! Dany is on the road to recovery.
A message on the Facebook post reads “Just over three years from Danny being diagnosed with leukemia, we have finally arrived at the point of him getting to ring the bell in Crumlin to signal the end of his treatment.
“We want to thank everyone for all your love and support throughout this tough time especially our friends and families who in the toughest of times were always there for us, our girls Sarah and Eve who at times had to show maturity way beyond their years and who’s love for their brother was immense
“Finally a word about Danny what an unbelievably tough wee boy who has amazed us every step of the way he accepted everything that came at him and taught us all so many lessons along this path that we found ourselves on we are so proud of him as look forward to the next chapter in our lives.”
