Teenager raising funds in memory of brother who died of muscle disease

A teenager whose older brother died of a muscle disease is staging a fundraiser in his memory.

Caoimhe Forde, a transition-year pupil in Coláiste Treasa secondary school, in Kanturk, has recruited Ireland’s hottest young talents to perform at the variety show in her school hall next month. She is raising funds for Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI).

Cork pop singer, Stephanie Rainey, will perform, along with Dublin band, Wild Youth, singers, Rachel O’Shaughnessy and Riona Sheehan, ‘Banteer’s Got Talent’ winner, Meadhbh Walsh, and a selection of traditional Irish dancers and musicians.
