Unfortunately, the meeting with the decision makers, regarding funding for Joe's future care did not take place and it is unlikely that it will. Pauline and Joe wish to communicate this information to all you, wonderful people, who have supported them so much. Your support means so much to them.

This is news which has come as a huge blow to the Doran family.

At the moment, Pauline, is digesting this information.

We will give the Doran family, time to get their thoughts together and in the next week or so, we will give you an update on how things are going to proceed.

We still need your support, now, more than ever, however, over the coming days, Pauline needs time to take in, this, devastating news. We will respect her and give her the time she needs.

On behalf of Pauline and Joe, thank you all for your support.
