Lecturer boxes clever to raise funds for Haiti

A COLLEGE lecturer will be suspended over Fermoy town square in Co Cork in a perspex box for the next two days as part of a daring fundraiser for Haiti.

Conor O’Kane, 29, will spend 48 hours in less than ideal conditions in a bid to raise €20,000 for Haiti.

Conor is replicating the stunt carried out by US magician David Blaine seven years ago. The perspex box he is spending the next two days in only measures 8ftx4ft in width and six feet in height.
