Brave Louise recovering in Spain
B
Brave Killarney girl Louise Lynch is making a steady recovery in Spain following a devastating car crash that left her with severe internal, cranial and abdominal injuries, as well as many fractured bones. Louise was in intensive care for five weeks and confined to bed for over three months but she is now up and walking, to the delight of friends, family and the entire community of Killarney. She will remain in Spain for the next three months of her recovery.
Shortly after the accident, Louise’s family flew out to Spain to be by her side in the Infanta Cristina Hospital in Badajoz. Her father, Séamus, is originally from Milltown/Castlemaine and her mother, Nora (née Buckley), grew up in Radrinagh in Spa. Her brother, James, did his Leaving this year in St Brendan’s College while her sister, Marie, is studying nursing in UCC.
Louise has been described by friends as being a very energetic person with a great of humour. She has always been very active in her community and has lined out for the Spa ladies in football. She is also a talented musician and has represented Spa in Scór na nÓg. She had been teaching English to primary school students in Badajoz at the time of her accident.
To help cover some of the costs of Louise’s treatment, friends and family have organised a dinner ball charity night which will take place in the Killarney Oaks Hotel on Saturday, June 30 in the Killarney Oaks Hotel. Tickets will cost €50. Black tie is optional. To donate an item for the auction or for the raffle, please contact Patrick on 0044 7538 877 502 or patrick_lynch@rocketmail.com. Tickets can be booked by calling 087 3372673.
