Brid O’Connor is a Kerry Hero for 2021
Killarney woman Brid O’Connor was named as one of eight Fexco Kerry Heroes of 2021 just before Christmas.
The awards, presented by Radio Kerry, were presented to people who made outstanding contributions to Kerry life over the last year.
Brid, a cancer survivor, was recognised for her book ‘Spark’. The collection of short stories raised €1000 for the Comfort for Chemo, Kerry.
Late last year she was a guest with fellow Killarney resident Ian O’Connell on his Radio Kerry Programme ‘Standing Out’ programme.
“Brid O Connor is a breast cancer survivor who lost her mother to the same disease. She has written 'Spark' – a beautiful collection of conversations with people who have suffered pain, loss and life altering events and have had the strength to reset their lives following these trials,” said Radio Kerry’s Melanie O’Sullivan.
Each award recipient will be presented with a specially created 2021 award of a handcrafted vase sponsored by Louis Mulcahy Pottery/Potadóireacht na Caolóige, Clogher, Ballyferriter.
