The family of a terminally ill four-year-old boy has this week urged the public for their help in recreating one last Christmas for their son this coming Saturday. Little Sebastian was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year and according to his father, Conor McLoughlin, has now only weeks to live. Conor, his wife and their family are hoping to recreate Sebastian’s favourite time of the year this coming weekend. Speaking to Ray D’Arcy on RTÉ Radio 1 this week, Conor stated: “Sebastian really loves Christmas, like any child, it’s his favourite time of the year. “He looks forward to it from one end of the year to the other.” The family have been overwhelmed by the response from the public, between children offering up their pocket money and Christmas wrapping paper, to the news that Santa himself will visit Sebastian this Saturday. “Originally, they said [he had] months, but then on Monday we met with the team in Crumlin, the team that does radiation therapy, chemotherapy and the neurosurgeon and they basically told us it’s more like weeks,” Conor continued. “He’s funny – he’s actually quite happy to go to Crumlin and get chemotherapy because he knows it will make him better, even though he hates the place. “Sebastian was saying to me; ‘I’m happy to go daddy, I want to get better, I want to get the medicine to make me better.” Anyone who think they are able to help the McLoughlin family, who live in Ballina, Co. Tipperary, should email ray@rte.ie. A fundraising page has also been set up which you can support here. Pictures via the Ray D'Arcy Show.
