An award-winning dairy farmer from Co. Cork has banded together with an agricultural start-up business in aid of a very worthy cause.
Peter Hynes has been challenged to wear a delightfully fashionable set of pink and leopard-print ‘designer’ overalls to raise funds for the farm accident support network Embrace FARM.
He has been set a series of colourful targets for the coming weeks; with the good-natured farmer, and mental health advocate, prepared to go far beyond the realms of his comfort zone to achieve each goal.
Peter will don the stylishly selected pink overalls on his farm for the day if €1,000 is raised for the cause.
However, if the €2,500 milestone is reached, Peter will travel to his local co-op in the eye-catching apparel, where he intends to proudly showcase his spots to the co-op manager, farmers and other customers
The special fundraiser has been organised in conjunction with the owner of the Irish farming fashion firm Pretty Bird, Grace Roche, after Hynes was challenged to wear the overalls.

“It’s for a good cause and it’ll be right craic,” he said. “I’ve no problem making a fool of myself for charity!”
To help reach the funds needed, Roche has set up an iDonate page – which will be available for donations until March 14.
Donations are already coming in thick and fast – with over €1,000 already raised for the farm accident survivors’ charity.
