First Flight Feckers Fork Over Fundraiser Fortune

We spoke to the big eejits behind the short story collection First Flight back in May last year, as they set about compiling a book that was more than just a good read.

In the case of First Flight, it was also about raising money for a very good cause.

And that good cause received the fruit of this sterling collection this week, as one of the ringleaders, Mark Mitchell, handed over the obligatory oversized cheque to MS Ireland, the latter’s CEO, Ava Battles, more than a little overwhelmed by the €3,560 raised.

Joining Mark and Ava on the big day were Limerick hurlers Graham Mulcahy and Richie English, alongside Maurice O’Connor, vice-chairman of MS Ireland.

Nicely done.
