Michele ‘honoured and humbled’ by carer award

A devoted mother who has put her life on hold to care full-time for her daughter and manage her complex medical condition has been named Cork carer of the year.

Michele Fenton, from Midleton in East Cork, said she was honoured and humbled to receive the award from Lord Mayor Mary Shields in City Hall yesterday.

“I don’t think I’m doing anything that I shouldn’t be doing,” she said.
