A Kerry senior footballer is encouraging people to consider donating blood.
Kilcummin’s Sean O’Leary sustained serious injuries in a road traffic incident earlier this year and required a blood transfusion of seven units following the crash.
In an effort to raise awareness, 22 of Sean’s teammates in Kilcummin have donated blood already.
