A teenage girl who lost both her legs in a freak farming accident and undergone over 60 operations will be the focus of a special 'Stand4Féile' jersey day appeal in her native west Cork. Féile defied predictions in being able to make a temporary trip home to Allihies to spend Christmas with her family. She was airlifted to Cork University Hospital (CUH) in the aftermath of the accident. Now, the sports-obsessed teen will be the focus of a special jersey day across primary and secondary schools in Cork and Kerry - with the event aimed at showing local solidarity with her and her family. Schools can register for the upcoming jersey day at https://gaacork.ie/stand4feile/
