Stroke victim fund hits €3k

A marathon relay at the University of Limerick has helped raise more than €3,000 for a French student who suffered a stroke and is undergoing rehabilitation.

Kevin Saude, who has lived in Limerick for seven years and is enrolled as a mature student in the Bachelor of Arts course in UL, suffered a stroke when he returned to Bar le Duc in his native France this summer.

Following his accident, Mr Saude is now wheelchair- bound and has spent more than three months in hospital.
