SDLP Newry & Armagh MLA Justin McNulty has celebrated the news that a bone marrow donor has been found for local boy Bobby Browne.
Mr McNulty said:
“The Browne family have been in all of our hearts and minds as they’ve searched for a bone marrow match for their young son Bobby, and there will be such a huge sense of relief and hope on finding a match to enable lifesaving treatment for Bobby.
“Bobby’s resilience, along with the determination of his parents Louise and Danny, has been a source of inspiration to so many people locally, something that has been evidenced not just by the outpouring of sympathy for the family, but also by the huge numbers of people who stepped up to be tested in search of a match for Bobby.
“Bobby’s story highlights the importance of being on the bone marrow donor register, and I would encourage everyone who has not yet joined to do so – you could save someone’s life.
“The goodwill and good wishes of everyone will follow Bobby as he now embarks upon the next stage of his treatment. My prayers are with the Browne family, particularly Bobby, so that he comes through his treatment and transplant with flying colours.”
