IT’S BEEN QUITE a week for Cavan-based musician Ben Folkman.
He’s been on a fundraising odyssey around Ireland with six friends – playing 32 gigs in 32 counties to raise money for his five-year-old son Jarrah who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, CVI blindness and refractory epilepsy, all of which have a major impact on his life.
Finishing in Jarrah’s mam Elysha’s home town of Cootehill, Cavan
A lovely and heartwarming fundraising imitative, as Ben writes on the GoFundMe:
He’s growing bigger fast and often has to be carried. He needs special equipment and funds raised will go directly towards that. This initiative is also a celebration of his life and his courageous spirit. He’s just such a beautiful young boy, I’d do anything for him. He deserves a decent life like any of us.
