Models and mayor in a spin for charity

Miss Cork, some of her glamorous modelling friends, and a former popstar turned politician are saddling up to help some of Cork’s flood victims.

Miss Cork Susan Brosnan, former Miss Cork Mairéad O’Farrell, and Lockdown model agency’s Vivienne Kelly, who are all from the Glanmire area, and Mayor of Cobh Sinéad Sheppard (formerly of pop group Six), will take part in a 24-hour spinathon this weekend. All funds raised will be used by the trustees of the new Glanmire Meadowbrook Flood Fund to help those worst affected by last week’s flood.

The event, from 6pm on Friday to 6pm on Saturday, will take place in Jennifer Thomas’s Team Thomas Fitness Centre on the Watergrasshill Rd.
