Lisa Cummins Visits CBC Prep
The boys of the Prep School were delighted to welcome Corkwoman Lisa Cummins to the school on Monday last. Lisa has been in the news for her incredible feat of will and endurance: swimming across the English Channel and turning round immediately and swimming back again. It took her 36 hours. She is now in a group of only twenty who can claim this achievement.
