Billy Sheehan and his 7-year-old son Timmy dyed their hair bleach blond on Easter Sunday as part of a fund raising drive for young Dan Donoher.
Billy, who played alongside Dan' father Niall Donoher for Laois, is well known is GAA circles having coached with the Offaly and Cork footballers since retiring from playing in a career which saw him represent both Kerry and Laois. His club career has seen him represent Austin Stacks, Emo and now St Judes in Dublin.
Having raised over €15,000 from earlier events, Billy and young Timmy Sheehan bleached their hair on Sunday and their Go Fund Me page for that fundraiser has now passed €5,000, making a total of over €20,000 raised by the family.

The fundraising efforts are for young Dan Donoher who was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 and Scoliosis late last year. Without treatment Dan's life expectancy is 18-24 months.
The Donoher family are fundraising €2m for pioneering treatment in America which offers Dan a chance at an improved or even a normal life.
