Fionn Silke Fundraiser

Fionn Silke is 18 and from Galway. He suffered a life-changing injury during the summer of 2022.

Fionn had been a keen footballer who played in the U15 National League with Mayo and had just completed his leaving certificate. While abroad on a holiday he had a diving accident which resulted in a spinal cord injury. He spent time in hospital in Croatia and then at the Mater in Dublin and the National Rehabilitation centre. Fionn is now at home and is working to improve his mobility. He is undergoing treatment at a specialist centre in Australia which has led to great improvements and which he will continue in 2024 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kOT-54vZpc).

Mark Kavanagh will take part in the 'Swim A Mile' Challenge on April 6th, 2024 in the National Aquatic Centre and all funds raised will go to support Fionn's ongoing treatment.
