Fish for Courtney

**Gethyn Owen** · 07-10-2009, 19:12

On Saturday October 17th 2009, Holyhead Charter Boats Coegfran, My Way and Spindrift will be holding a sponsored fishing event to help raise funds to send a very brave girl on a very special Christmas holiday.
Courtney Rose Jones has been battling serious illness since she was just 17 months of age. Courtney’s first tumour, took doctors 6 months to diagnose. Following which, she endured many sessions of chemotherapy for 18 months. Sadly after battling through chemotherapy a 2nd brain tumour was found and before she had reached her fourth birthday she had already endured 30 doses of radiotherapy.
