Teenager follows mum’s lead in 40-hour raft bid

HAVING just celebrated her Leaving Cert results, Celia Johnson is about to follow her mother’s example and take part in a Big Brother-style challenge in a west Cork harbour.

Celia, 18, from Blackrock, is one of six volunteers who will brave the elements and tough tasks during the 40-hour Courtmacsherry Liferaft Survival Challenge, which starts this evening.

Her mother Ann and aunt Celia Kelly took part in last year’s challenge.
