Co. Tipp farmers cover tractors in Christmas lights to raise money for sick child

Two Co. Tipperary brothers are doing their part to raise money for a sick 5-year-old boy.

Martin and Richie Toohey from Borrisokane are behind the fundraiser.

They're raising money for Shinrone's Billy Goulding.

Billy is paralysed from the chin down after picking up a virus at the age of 2 and now needs 24/7 care.

Billy travels to the UK twice a year for rehabilitation.

The boy has a GoFundMe page and it says, "Currently we have to pay privately for physio, and Billy works really hard to do what he can.

We need to get Billy to a place where he has a quality of life for himself.

For us even for one hand to work would be our lotto for our little man."

Billy's Mum Eileen also says, "I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for any donation given by you to help little Billy on his recovery journey."
