Update - Midweek Lift


A True Hero


Maria Foley has become the embodiment of a true hero when she, without a moments hesitation, dived into the river Lee to rescue a toddler who had fallen in.

It seems that Maria was simply walking along the banks when the young boy strayed from his Au Pair and slipped between the railing. In an instant, Maria had thrown herself into the river after him.

The selfless hero managed to calm the child and kept his head above the surface until the emergency services arrived, which was within a matter of minutes after the alarm had been raised.

This is such a moving story and I am in complete awe of this wonderful human being's courage and selflessness. To give this story and added snuggle, The father of the young boy has set up a Go Fund Me campaign to send Maria and her thirteen children on a well deserved holiday.
