Students aim to help with Sophie’s Lyme disease ‘living hell’

A woman has spoken of her living hell after contracting the rare and debilitating Lyme disease.

“It’s like hell every day,” Sophie Moore, 22, from Douglas, Cork, said. “I live minute to minute. I should be loving and living life but at this stage, I’m really just wishing for my life back.”

Sophie spoke out last night as Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) students’ union announced a major fundraiser to help her pay for specialist medical treatment in the US.
