The tragic death of a school friend "Ciara" through cancer was the inspiration- the class decided to raise awareness about teenage cancer and raise money for CanTeen Ireland, an organisation which supports teenagers with cancer
The students raised over ten thousand euro through the project
Their teacher Margaret Harold says the students found the project helped them commemorate their late friend Ciara.
