A group of Aer Lingus’ cabin crew pals have started a fundraiser for their "much loved" stewardess friend who is bravely battling motor neurone disease.
Stephanie Scott Byrne from Cabinteely was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last January. She started working for Aer Lingus in 2005 and loved her job, with her colleagues describing her as having an "infectious" love of people and fun.
Unfortunately, in recent months Stephanie's condition has worsened meaning that she cannot work - and her doting husband Michael is taking care of her and their family. Stephanie's Aer Lingus colleagues, Fiona and Anne Gillespie, set up the GoFundMe page in October to help support Stephanie and her family “through these challenging times ahead”.
