PARTING SHOT

Viral videos are ten-a-penny these days. There are so many people out there whose sole goal in life is to get themselves that highly-sought 15 minutes of fame.

But then there are those who come along and you’re delighted for them. Step up Chris Quinn of Greystones Tennis Club who shot to fame by squeezing into Kim Clijsters’ white skirt during an impromptu Wimbledon cameo.

It has now emerged that Quinn is now auctioning off said skirt for the Gavin Glynn Foundation – a charity which helps families of children with cancer with flights and accommodation should they need to travel abroad for treatment.
