Very sad. words don't do justice. But what brave little man, a warrior. I hope he saw just how many people loved and cared about him As does his family at this terrible time, I hope that brings them some sort of comfort jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20164 - 17/08/2016 15:18:19 1902326 Link

Terrible news sincere condolences to his family friends and team mates in the nursery in St Margarets It was great to see however how this brave young captured the imagination of all from different clubs counties and different sports to rally around to send Ben to the States in hope of a recovery it puts everything into perspectie RIP young man runnerin (Meath) - Posts: 194 - 17/08/2016 19:25:03 1902440 Link
Awful news. My own eldest lady had a major scare a couple of years ago as some of you may know but she is fine now. Even at that I can only imagine the pain that those parents are going through right now. Life just is not fair. Ben fought a brave fight. RIP little man.

Glad to hear your little one is doing well Mes. Must be the hardest thing in the world to go through. Can't imagine how his family are dealing with this.

I hope that your eldest lady is back to her fit and healthy self now. Would certainly have put everything into perspective for you i'd guess. I dont have any kids right now, I cant imagine how helpless you would feel as a parent to see your child sick in any way shape or form. Im glad that everything is okay now though. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13598 - 17/08/2016 23:10:07 1902538 Link
Tragic news. Very courageous young lad. He was so brave and the images of him up close and personal with his hero's in Croke Park is one of many great memories for his friends and family to have, I am sure. Ar a dheis de go raibh a ainm. Rest in Peace young Ben. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3330 - 17/08/2016 23:20:13 1902541 Link

I can barely cope when my lad gets injured in a game, and he's 17! Can't imagine what it must be like for parents to go through a hell like that. Puts everything in to perspective.

RIP and condolences to the family and friends. Cancer is a bch of a disease that effect's most families at some stage but when it happens to someone so young it's heartbreaking. yew_tree (Mayo)** - Posts: 10417 - 18/08/2016 11:20:23 1902657 Link

The tragic passing of someone so young who should have lived life to the full is desperate for his parents and family. I can't imagine the pain that they feel at this time. We'd all love to help them in some way. It's news like this that puts everything in perspective. If you think you're having a bad day just take a minute to to think about Ben and his family. It's very upsetting. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. May his young soul be at God's right hand. donnycarney_d (Dublin) - Posts: 8 - 19/08/2016 15:38:56 1903252 Link
