A Cork student has helped to raise thousands for a national COVID19 fundraiser 'Our Hospital Heroes' in the midst of final year college exams.
Amy Wren and her friends were inspired by the fundraiser when they discovered the appeal was being coordinated by the Mater Foundation, a charity close to their hearts following the death of their friend who passed away in their final year of secondary school.
