International Siblings Day: Familiarity breeds respect

To mark International Siblings Day, Jonathan deBurca Butler speaks to four Irish celebrities about their relationships.

Rachel and Roz Purcell grew up in Fethard, Tipperary. Roz (26) is a well-known Irish model while Rachel (29) works as a digital account manager. The sisters live together in Dublin. Rachel was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia which she is keen to stress is “very manageable”.

The sisters have come together in conjunction with Ballygowan to launch a campaign raising cancer awareness. From now until August, labels on the biggest selling lines will turn from blue to gold and a donation for every bottle sold will be made to cancer services.
