The family of Erin MacGill have celebrated the first donation from the Erin's Gift fund to the clown doctors who brought her so much joy.

As reported this week, Erin's Gift adopted Dr Squeegie, seen here entertaining the teenager before she passed away at the age of 18.

Mum Fiona and brother Sean said Erin's face would light up whenever she saw a clown doctor and her family felt it was a fitting tribute for her first heavenly birthday at the weekend and to kick off Erin’s Gift.

The fund will continue to support individuals and groups in the next two months.
