Civic buildings to be lit up in memory of Newtownabbey schoolboy
Civic buildings across Antrim and Newtownabbey are to be illuminated orange in memory of a boy from the borough who passed away after a brave battle with an ultra-rare disorder.
Caoimhin Adams (8) passed away on July 9 2023, one year after being diagnosed with ROHHAD Syndrome (Rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation and autonomic dysregulation).
Caoimhin was the first person on the island of Ireland to be diagnosed with ROHHAD, a condition with no cure, impacting the lives of around 100 children and their families globally.
