Grieving family to continue cystic fibrosis awareness work

THE grieving family of a 23-year-old Kerry woman who died earlier this month after a long battle with cystic fibrosis have vowed to continue her work to create greater awareness of the condition.

During the last months of her life, Mary Hand, from Dingle, appeared on a poster urging people to carry organ donor cards.

She had been waiting for a double lung transplant that would have saved her life.
