Sports stars bin bras for charity

Four of Cork’s female sports stars are encouraging women to bin their old bras to raise funds for a breast cancer charity.

Camogie stars Gemma O’Connor and Lynda O’Connell, Cork footballer Doireann O’Sullivan, and soccer player Barbara O’Connell have given their support to the Bin Your Bra campaign, which will see €1 donated to the Marie Keating Foundation for every bra binned at Ryan’s SuperValu stores in Togher, Grange, and Glanmire.

Linda Keating of the Marie Keating Foundation said that the charity was thrilled that Ryan’s SuperValu was backing its campaign during October — Breast Cancer Awareness month.
