Vintage drive to raise funds

IT IS a vintage fundraising drive with a difference.

Staff and students from Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) are planning to use vintage cars and motorcycles to drive 600 kilometres from Mizen to Malin. And one of the passengers plans to knit all the way – which is likely to be a first.

Mary Goggin, who works at the institute’s chemistry department, is aiming to create history with the knitting challenge and her creation will be put on the CIT website.
