Feeny schoolboy's donation to '˜Help Rhys Recover'
Rhys Mullan is being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast for burns suffered after the blaze at his father’s house on Seacoast Road on Boxing Day.
A charity auction, with photographs and prints up for grabs, has been organised for February 5 in the Sperrin Sports and Social Club, Coleraine. Proceeds will go towards Rhys’ long-term recovery. Rhys’ mum’s cousin, Stephen McLean and his wife Louise, have organised the auction.

Niall won the console before he received an Xbox at Christmas. He hopes it will help towards a “treat outing” for Rhys, his brother and sister.
Rhys’ mum, Annette said: “Thank-you very much, Niall. Not many wee boys would give up a prize like this to help another wee boy. I’d like to say ‘thank-you’ also to Niall’s mum and dad who contacted Louise to ask if the PS4 would be of any use to the fund for Rhys.
“Everyone has been so kind and a simple thank-you just doesn’t express how grateful we are.”
