Cars to loop lake for the hospice
Lough Derg 100 charity event this Sunday
An exciting and philanthropic event is set to take place this Sunday, September 3, as car enthusiasts gather at Carey Glass, Nenagh for a memorable day in support of North Tipperary Hospice.
The event promises to combine an appreciation for classic and performance cars with the spirit of charity, all while enjoying the stunning scenery of Lough Derg. Organised by a group of passionate volunteers and car enthusiasts, this charitable event aims to raise funds for the vital services provided by North Tipperary Hospice. By participating in the event and donating to take part, attendees will have the opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families facing very challenging times.
The event will kick off at Carey Glass, Limerick Road, Nenagh, where participants will gather to first display their cars to the public from 11am to 1pm. Participants will then embark on the 100km roundtrip. As the engines roar to life, a convoy of classic and performance cars will set out on a scenic drive around the breathtaking Lough Derg region. Drivers and passengers alike will experience the thrill of the open road while immersing themselves in the natural beauty that surrounds them. Spectators and automotive fans are invited to come and view the variety of machines on display.
The group of participating cars will then make a first pitstop at 1.30pm at Ballina GAA to allow local enthusiasts to come and view the wide array of machinery on display. The convoy will then proceed to circle Lough Derg, before a second pitstop at Borrisokane Church at 3.30pm.
‘A CAUSE THAT TOUCHES THE LIVES OF SO MANY’
As part of the fundraising drive, participants and the public will be asked for donations towards North Tipperary Hospice. There is no fixed amount; any contribution, no matter the size, will be warmly appreciated. Funds raised through this event will directly support the exceptional care, comfort, and support provided to individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families by North Tipperary Hospice. “We are thrilled to host this charitable car event in support of North Tipperary Hospice,” said John Joe Lewis, the lead organiser of the event. “It's a special opportunity for car enthusiasts to come together, enjoy the beauty of the region, and contribute to a cause that touches the lives of so many in our community. We encourage everyone to participate and help make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.”
