In what can only be described as devastating, the Co Galway girl, Saoirse Ruane, who inspired the annual Late Late Toy Show appeal has died.
It’s been confirmed today that the young girl passed away on Tuesday following a long illness.
The 12-yr-old bravely captured the hearts of the nation when she appeared on the 2020 Toy Show and spoke about her fight against cancer, which she fought so bravely.
She singlehandedly started the Toy Show appeal, which has gone on to raise millions.
Her mother, Roseanna, asked for prayers for her little girl.
May she rest in peace.
