In her memory, Davina and her family recently set up the Karen Fenton Ovarian Cancer Fund, with the aim of raising funds to assist with research. Further information about the fund and about Karen, is available from

Karen was training for the Cobh Jailbreak Triathlon before her diagnosis and in her memory, Davina and her brothers, Martin and Mícheál, will participate on her behalf. in Cóbh on Saturday, July 1st,  from 10.30 onwards.

Staff provided wonderful hampers of goodies and we raffled these on Thursday 29th June. Míle buiochas to our wonderful pupils whose ticket purchases contributed €2415 to the fund.
