The cousin of a six-year-old girl who has stolen the hearts of the nation this year has written a song for her in order to raise vital funds for her cancer treatment. Sixteen-year-old Katie O’Connor has penned the song Just Too Young dedicated to her little cousin, Molly McNally, and prepare to get the tissues out, as it is absolutely heart wrenching. Little Molly was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma last year, an aggressive childhood cancer of the nervous system. She needs vital preventive treatment that is only available in America. Molly is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Crumlin Hospital. Fundraising has been ongoing over the last 12 months to try and raise the necessary money for the beautiful little Dubliner. Speaking this morning to Pat Kenny on Newstalk, her cousin Katie told how difficult it’s been and how she hopes that the song will raise the rest of the money needed to get her cousin the help she needs. “Molly was diagnosed last year. She had pains in her stomach, and they never thought that it was anything to do with cancer,” she said. “She’s six now and she went to school last week. She loves going to school,” explaining that Molly didn’t get to start school last year due to the diagnosis. “She has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastama, which is the worst stage as it’s at its most aggressive..some of the preventive treatments are not available in this country. We need to get her to America..We are half way there to reaching our goal (fundraising).” The talented young singer/songwriter then performed live on the show, following on from her appearance last night on TG4. “You’re just too young to go,” she sang. “Baby you need to grow and live a life of your own. You haven’t even started school, which makes it way more cruel. “So we’ll have to hope, we’ll have to sit and pray that this news will go away.” The 16-year-old stunned listeners with her astounding vocal, and the poignant lyrics tugged on heart strings around Ireland.
