Beaufort man’s mercy mission to Morocco

A Beaufort man is heading to Morocco with a van full of aid supplies to help the victims of last weekend’s devastating earthquake.
Mike Shea will leave Killarney on Saturday afternoon with sleeping bags, tents, winter jackets and children’s clothes.
Mike, who is best known as stunt coordinator for Hollywood blockbusters like the latest James Bond movie and the Indiana Jones franchise has spent a lot of time in Morocco.
As a result he has a lot of friends in the Atlas mountains, which bore the brunt of the earthquake and has decided to fill his van with vital equipment and head out there to offer his help and assistance.
The devastating earthquake has led to over 3,000 deaths. Livestock was also killed in the disaster meaning families – particularly those in rural areas – have no access to food.
He has arranged pick-up points in Mac Eoin Merchants in Dingle and Portwest Killarney.
Donations can be made via: IBAN: IE72BOFI90570777445112
Mike can be contacted on 087 7202252
