Tipperary business helps design special pink jersey in support of Sophie Quirke

Since the GoFundMe page went live just over one week ago for young local girl Sophie Quirke, the response has been phenomenal.

Sophie, who is a Fourth Class student in St Michael's NS in Mullinahone - was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on January 6, 2023 aged just seven.

With just one week to go before Sophie rang the bell, her and her family’s world was shattered once more, when after a routine lumber puncture cancer cells were found to be present in Sophie’s cerebral spinal fluid and bone marrow.

As Sophie's relapse came while on active treatment, this unfortunately puts her in a very high risk category and her best chance of fighting this is to receive a bone marrow transplant, which is not available in Ireland.

This means Sophie will have to travel abroad to receive treatment.

The local communities and the country's response has just been phenomenally unprecedented.

In another hugely kind gesture local man Alan Foley of AF gear together with Sophie and her family have designed a fabulous jersey in aid of Sophie's treatment.

Sophie's parents are Roger and Martina (Griffin) Quirke and older brother Dylan.

As Sophie's favourite colour is pink, it was only right that the jersey be designed in a vibrant pink, but even though Sophie is going through so much at the moment, she has designed a jersey in blue for those who might not like pink so everyone is included, which shows how much of a kind thoughtful, caring little girl Sophie is.

The jerseys come in both adult and youth sizes with all money raised going to Sophie's treatment.

Prices: Adult €30...Juvenile €25
