Father of two Mark Hayes needs to travel to Europe to continue treatment.

A Westmeath father of two is aiming to raise €100,000 to help him in his fight against cancer.

Athlone's Mark Hayes was diagnosed back in 2018 - but received news that it'd spread to his liver earlier this year.

He now needs to travel to Europe for his latest round of treatment - which costs €30,000 each trip.

A GoFund me page was set up earlier this month - with over €40,000 donated so far.

Mr.Hayes says he is thinking of his young family each step of the way:
