Brother Of Kilworth Crash Victim To Run Mini-Marathon In Her Honour
The brother of a Cork woman who was killed in an horrific car crash just before Christmas is running the Women's mini marathon in her honour.
Louise Clancy and her mother Geraldine died in a road crash near their home in Kilworth as they were heading to Fermoy to do some last minute Christmas shopping
Declan Clancy told the Avondhu newspaper that he has decided to run in Cork's Mini Marathon to raise funds for the Cork Association for Autism as it was on Louise's "bucket list" of things she wanted to do.
Louise had Aspergers syndrome and at the time of her death had just returned home for Christmas after a semester abroad as part of an Erasmus Exchange Programme from UCC.
She was heavily involved in the Aspect support service provided by the CAA, and gave presentations to parents of children with Aspergers about her experience in college.
Speaking to RedFM News Declan Clancy says Louise never let her Aspergers hold her back:
