Coiste Tacaíochta Katie O'Halloran Lotto

Ar 3ú Iúil 1991 rugadh Katie O'Halloran gan lámha agus cos gearr. Baineadh  stad as a tuismitheoirí agus as lucht leighis mar ba í Katie an chéad duine le mí -chumas den tsórt seo.  Faoi chúram na ndochtúirí thosaigh Katie ag spraoi ag úsáid a cosa. Cé go raibh bac fisiciúil ar Katie bhí sé soiléar do lucht leighis nár chuir a mí - chumas srian léi agus lean sí ag sárú go hintleachtúil.

Faoi láthair tá Katie ag déanamh máistreacht sa dlí poiblí i gColáiste na hOllscoile Gaillimh. Cé go bhfuil sí gnóthach tá aghaidh á thabhairt aicí ar thuras nua - 3 lámh bitheonach a fháil chun cúnamh a thabhairt di tuilleadh neamh - spleáchais a fháil ina saol pearsanta agus ina gairm bheatha. Bóthar fada dúshlánach atá roimpi.

Beidh fisiteiripe ag teastáil roimhe agus ina dhiaidh chun a matáin a laidriú ach le cúnamh agus tacaíocht ó dhaoine mar thusa agus mise, tá súil toradh íontach a bhaint amach.
 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
On July 3rd 1991 Katie O’Halloran was born without arms and a short deformed right leg. It came as a great shock to her parents and medical practitioners alike as Katie is the first person with a disability of this kind.
 
Under the care of the specialists, Katie’s natural ability to play using her feet was developed. Although Katie is restricted physically it was clear to the medical practitioners that she did not let her disability affect her and continued to excel intellectually.
 
Currently Katie is studding masters in public law in NUIG. Although busy she is now undertaking a new journey to obtain the bionic 3 arms to assist her to gain further independence in her personal life and her career. This will yet again be a long and challenging task. It will involve physiotherapy before and after to strengthen her muscles but with the help and support of people like you and I, we hope to achieve extra ordinary things.

Míle Buíochas,
An Coiste.
