Emergency - Supporting David Gavin
Donation protected
On Friday 30th June, David Gavin from Castlebar, Co. Mayo, was involved in a tragic incident that occurred at Kinbasket Lake Resort near Golden, British Columbia in Canada. David was on his way with his teammates to play for the Vancouver Irish Sporting & Social GAA Club (ISSC) in the Western Canadian Championship, which were due to take place this past weekend in Calgary, Alberta.
A dive team from the Royal Canadian Mountain Police is currently at the lake and the agonising search is continuing to locate David.
David had recently moved to Canada with his girlfriend Ciara, and is a hugely popular figure within the Irish GAA community in Vancouver and within the GAA community at home with his club Breaffy and with his county Mayo.
David's family have now arrived from Ireland to Kinbasket Lake, and are now waiting in hope that the divers will be able to recover him.
In order to help David's family, girlfriend Ciara, her family, friends and teammates at this time, we've set up this page in order to raise as much funds as we can to support the search and associated expenses in locating David and getting him home.
Any support at this time, would be greatly appreciated and please keep sharing this fundraising page.
Thank you, from all at ISSC Vancouver.
