Brigid worked for most of her life as a nurse in New York City and even nursed former US President John F Kennedy back to health after he broke his leg.

Martina Tierney OT donated a new Seating Matters Sorrento chair to Brigid to keep her supported and comfortable.

“When I read about Brigid reaching this incredible milestone and learned she was already using a Seating Matters chair, I wanted to do something special for her.”

Brigid’s favourite thing about the new chair? “She loves that it matches the colour of her bright blue eyes.”
