A unique charity fundraiser is set to take place at the Lough in Cork city this June Bank Holiday weekend.

People are invited to ‘Lap the Lough’ with coins in aid of Cork City Hospitals' Children's Club from 11am to 2pm on June 2, creating a full circle of euro coins in a ring of hope that will help bring sick children to Disneyland Paris.
