That wish is now being honoured by his family, who are bringing his plan to life through the auction of a special heifer, Candy Floss, at Carnew Mart today,Thursday 30th April. All proceeds will go to the Irish Cancer Society, with additional fundraising on the day and through a GoFundMe campaign, continuing Bob’s legacy of generosity and hope.
