EAST Cornwall footballer Corrie McDonald still hopes to be able to fulfill her dream of taking up a soccer/association football scholarship in the United States.

The 17-year-old Liskeard School and Community College student – who was featured in the Cornish Times on March 16 – was given just four weeks to raise £2,500, so that she could continue her education in America.

That deadline has now been extended by an extra two weeks as Corrie still has £800 to raise, to enable 'FirstpointUSA' to find her a University.

She has been working hard to obtain sponsors, organising events such as car-washes, supermarket bag-packing and sponsored football matches.

Anyone interested in sponsoring or supporting Corrie should call 07961 651 642.
