Awards are handed out as Sacred Heart Secondary School mark end of year with big celebration
THE Sacred Heart Secondary School host its end of year awards last week and there was one special recognition honour for former student Leigh Bagnall.
Leigh is the first person to receive a double lung transplant in Ireland via an Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion Transplantation. It’s a procedure that reconditions the donor lungs outside the body before surgery.
Leigh suffered with Cystic Fibrosis through school although remained dedicated to her studies, an inspiration to many.
She recently completed a 10km run after her transplant to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. Academic Achievement Awards 1st YEAR: Aishwarya Pillai, Aoife Lynch, Maja Grzesiak-Jakimiuk, Caoimhe Lumsden
