Moira Kerr is something
quite special, not only in terms of her writing, but in terms of her humanity as
well. The freelance journalist who hails from Oban won both the feature writer
of the year award (this was thanks to three articles written for the Daily Record)
and journalist of the year award for her diverse portfolio of articles, news
reports, and features at the Highlands and Islands Media Awards.
Oban RNLI received a donation |
In her spare time, Moira
is a volunteer fundraising secretary for the Oban RNLI Lifeboat, and so she
decided to donate the majority of her £500 prize money to that cause which is
clearly so dear to her heart. She gave away £300, and it went towards buying
the volunteers at the Lifeboat some Wellington boots which, they say, were much
needed and very happily and gratefully received.
Moira said that she
appreciated the awards, and was excited to receive them – but that it was all
down to her contacts, kept in her Smartphone, who kept her up to date with
everything that was happening all across the Highlands and Islands. She called
these contacts her ‘phone-a-friends’, which caused a laugh, but which is also
absolutely true!
If you need any freelance
articles, news stories, or blogging done, please contact me; I’m happy to help.
