The
Newry Democrat has a very full, long feature all about Gemma Murphy, the 2010 Down Rose. Gemma lives a very full life, according to to
the paper, "
As well as juggling two demanding careers as a social worker at a Lisburn children’s home and working in the family business, Jack Murphy’s Jewellers, the former Newry High student throws herself into voluntary work. Since she was 13, she has been an active member of Newry Gateway Club and volunteers with PIPS and Saint Vincent De Paul. But life hasn’t been without its hurdles for Gemma. While studying for her social work degree at Manchester University, she was diagnosed with dyspraxia and dyslexia. Having dyspraxia means she has difficulties with hand-eye coordination and balance. However, it hasn’t held her back and she completed half of the Newry City Marathon this year".
It seems that Gemma is greatly supported by many of the business in Newry, in the
article she thanks to Berling, Dali Boutique, Micall Henshaws, Neola, Jack Murphy Jewellers, Deborah Rose Bridal and Newry Democrat.
Please read the item at the
Newry Democrat for much more about the preparations being undertaken by Gemma for her two weeks in Tralee.
