A Bagnelstown teenager is being honoured for his bravery and positivity in dealing with a progressive neurological disease.
15 year old Oisin Pollord was a typical boy until he was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Atazia at the age of 8.
By the time Oisin reached secondary school he was confined to a wheelchair.
Kilkenny hurling boss Brian Cody will present him with a Share a Deam Child of courage award tonight at a ceremony in Limerick.
Judges were blown away by a nomination letter from Oisin’s cousin Conor McGrath.
