Hugh McPartlin from Carrick-on-Shannon, a chef in the Bush Hotel, has a winning talent for dancing that recently him €500 for his favourite charity.

Hugh and his dancing partner, Debbie O'Brien, took part in the recent Carrick Carnival on the June Bank holiday weekend. They danced to Footloose to win €500 for the charity of their choice. Hugh selected the VHR Cochlear Implant Fund at Beaumont Hospital, where his niece and god daughter Ellie had her cochlear implant at the age of 18mths.

The family then got together to make a collection to go with the €500 he won and donated a further €650 to make a total of €1,150.

Hugh is pictured here with Ellie, her Mum Aoife and Prof Laura Viani of the Cochlear Implant programme.

Thanks to everyone in Carrick-on-Shannon for the wonderful support!
