Grace O’Gorman is a two- year- old girl, who is undergoing treatment for cancer at Sloan Kettering Hospital, in New York City. Her treatment is expected to cost $800,000. Grace’s father, Kevin O’Gorman, is a native of Passage West, Co. Cork and her mother is Millicent Stone from Wexford Town, Co. Wexford. Both are graduates of University College Cork, Kevin from the engineering discipline and Millicent is a medical doctor.
Kevin, Millicent, their older daughter Alice, and Grace have had to relocate from their home and employment in Bath, England and resettle temporarily in New York City. The family has put all their savings and money borrowed towards Grace’s treatment.

Concerted fundraising efforts are underway in Cork communities and among UCC graduates in Ireland and around the world. For more information about these efforts go to the website: http://www.graceogorman.com./

If you cannot make the fundraiser on June 21, we ask that you consider making a donation. Checks can be made payable to the: County Cork Association - Grace O’Gorman Fund and mailed to the County Cork Association of New York at 33-01 Greenpoint Ave., LIC, N.Y. 11101.
