LEO Powell and a team of colleagues and friends have been very busy in November raising awareness of men’s health issues through the Movember appeal. Leo himself has raised over €20,000 and the team, Fovember (from The Irish Field and the Irish Farmers Journal), has raised some €35,000. The final deadline for making donations online is on Tuesday. This can be done at http://mobro.co/leopowell91.

“The response from the equine community has been staggering,” Leo said on Thursday. “Every family is touched by some illness and people have been so generous throughout the month.”
