The Galway community will rally to support a talented GAA player who suffered life-altering injuries after a road accident.

Moycullen native, Liam Davoren suffered from serious injuries and underwent two major surgeries after a road accident last year.

The 20-year-old was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, after the incident which occurred on Lombard Street in Galway at around 10.20pm.

To support his recovery, family adventure park Widlands, will donate the funds of all their activity proceeds from the Bank Holiday Monday.

“Liam is a cherished member of the Wildlands team along with many of his friends and to support Liam and his family Wildlands is donating ALL activity proceeds from Bank Holiday Monday 5th February to the Hope4Liam campaign. The proceeds of every activity whether its soaring on the zipline or navigating the challenge rooms or simply walking through the fairy trails will be donated to the campaign to aid Liam’s recovery,” Widlands said in a statement.

David Bohan, Co-owner and Director of Wildlands added: “We want to make Monday 5th a day to remember for everyone who attends and for Liam and his family to know that they are not alone – we are thinking of them all the time”.
