Letterkenny podcasters Vinny McLaughlin and Marty Brogan have given a New Year’s boost to a fundraiser for six-year-old Ruby Kiernan Houston.
Little Ruby, 6, is battling advanced aggressive cancer after being diagnosed last autumn.
A major campaign is underway to raise funds to support Ruby and her parents, Seany and Alana, during her treatment.
Vinny and Marty of the V&M Podcast went above and beyond in October when they hosted a 24 live podcast in aid of ‘Ruby’s Fight for Life’.
The lads endured a long night of interviews, chatting and entertainment to keep the donations coming in. The challenge was a great success with €7,200 raised over the day.
Vinny and Marty presented the cheque to Ruby’s dad, Seany, last Saturday (pictured above).
“It’s all for Ruby,” they said, thanking all business sponsors and individuals who supported the event.
“A massive thank you to each and every person that tuned in, sent well wishes and most importantly, donated.”
“We want to wish Ruby, Seany and Alana all the best for their journey, the whole country is behind you in your fight.
“A special thanks to our manager, Jason Quigley, who is leading the growth of our podcast and helping us create opportunities like this to give back to great causes.”
The long and difficult battle continues for little Ruby and donations are still required and greatly appreciated. If you would like to support the family, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/f/akb9a-rubys-fight-for-life
