“He has an NG [nasogastric intubation, used for feeding] tube in his nose since last September,” writes his mother, Grainne McCullough on her son’s GoFundMe page.
He has seen no dietitian, we are desperate at this stage, we are looking for money for my son Bryan to get private care and the help he deserves.”
Their €10,000 fundraising goal for ‘Bru’, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was reached last night following the two-time former UFC champion’s donation and she tweeted on Thursday to express her gratitude.
