The late Willie Egan.

Fundraising campaign launched in memory of Tullamore man

The friends of one of Tullamore's most loved and respected sports administrators, who passed away earlier this year, has set-up a fundraising campaign in aid of Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

The late Willie Egan (Spollanstown, Tullamore) passed away in September and is remembered in the community as a great character who was former long-time secretary of Tullamore Town Football Club and Tullamore Golf Club. He was also a big supporter of Offaly and Tullamore GAA.

Now, 'The Friends of Willie Egan' has set-up an justgiving page in his memory, with all proceeds raised going towards the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

The justgiving page has already raised over €1,500, and anyone who wishes to contribute to the fundraising effort can donate at https://www.justgiving.com/page/willie-egan-3?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=WA
