Champion boxer Kellie Harrington has put her 2015 National Elite belt up for auction in aid of neighbours who lost their home to fire.
Their house in Dublin's north inner city was destroyed last week, and the family doesn't expect to be able to return for at least a year.
Harrington, who lives locally, said that when she heard about the blaze, she felt she had to do something to help.
"It's little things you can't get back, you know, like photographs and all this kind of stuff -- they're all gone now, memories that are in that house are gone," she said.
"We're a strong community, there was a couple of people trying to raise some funds, there's a GoFundMe page set up, so I just thought it'd be a good idea to auction off a belt and a vest and maybe see what came through.
The bidding now stands at €3,000, and Harrington says she's going to close the auction on Wednesday at 2pm.
"The people of the inner city have really come together for this and it's great to see community coming together and really driving each other along and trying to help out as much as they can," she said.
