The Gavin Glynn Foundation is a very important organisation which was setup to help children in Ireland battling childhood cancer who need to travel overseas for treatment.

This week on the Sunday Business Show Conall was joined by Keith Mahon, Founder of thetaste.ie and Angela O'Connor, CEO of Train Ability, whose daughter Lucy was diagnosed with cancer when she was eight years old.

Three years ago Angela helped to organise a white collar boxing event in aid of the charity, which raised over €28,000.

This year Angela herself will be fighting in the ring, as will Keith Mahon in support of Angela's daughter, Lucy and the Foundations itself. The event has already raised over €30,000 and is hoping to receive even more donations.

Keith told Conall that the training for the match was a shock to his system but he kept up the motivation and has almost reached his target of €4,500.

The event will be taking place this week at the Temple Bar Hotel on Thursday the 8th of March. 

Along with the boxing there will also be massive raffle with amazing prizes Irish sports memorabilia, a list of which can be seen below.
