Fundraising drive for injured Cork jockey

A trust fund set up for a West Cork jockey, who suffered horrific brain and back injuries following a fall, is to be the main beneficiary of the proceeds from a community awards ceremony tomorrow night.

Stella McGrath, 21, from Innishannon, fell from her horse at Glenbane Point to Point last November.

Stella, who is currently receiving treatment in the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire, is making steady progress, according to her mother Jackie.
