A Graiguecullen woman hopes to be this year's Laois Rose, with a passion for voluntary work.
Kelsey Nolan is a 28 year old woman from Graiguecullen, and is a mother two year old Arlo.
"I began my work journey in the Delta centre in 2021 after being granted access to my life saving treatment," Kelsey explained.
The Graigue mother has been public in her battle with cysctic fibrosis, and regularly fundraises for related charities.
"Delta have been nothing but supportive of me always, even when health battles take over, for that I will always be internally grateful," she said.
