It comes all the way from Queenstown, New Zealand with a view to funding a life saving operation for the toddler.

It comes all the way from Queenstown, New Zealand with a view to funding a life saving operation for the toddler.

Gary Hough, a friend of Alice’s family, sent us this video recently and hopes that it raises enough donations to send Alice – who has a rare form of cancer – to the United States for treatment.

“It really brought home how special the Irish people and the Irish community are in this way,” he told JOE.

“I am a million miles away in Queenstown, New Zealand but I felt I wanted to do what I could to help and since I am part of the adventure tourism industry here in the adventure capital of the world, and with overwhelming support of the adventure family, I decided to do what we do well and put this video together to promote Alice’s fundraising page.”
