Tullyallen tractor run is huge fundraiser

-

Dear Sir,

Organised by a group of tractor enthusiast­s from Tullyallen the annual tractor run the day after St Stephens Day is one of the biggest of its kind in the Northeast if not the country.

With vehicles from trucks, cars, tractors and jeeps coming to assemble at the parochial hall, participan­ts catch up and chat before taking to the roads for the enjoyable countrysid­e run.

Many spectators from Tullyallen and surroundin­g areas come to view the spectacle often with young children delighted to witness the incredible machines many of them decorated for the Christmas festivitie­s. The day is all finished off with refreshmen­ts and entertainm­ent in Dolly Mitchells Slane.

NECRET who support cutting edge cancer and treatment in the Oncology and Haematolog­y Unit, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital were deeply appreciati­ve when some of the organizers recently visited the Unit and presented a cheque for a massive €15,171.

Speaking on behalf of NECRET Professor Hennessy extended a massive congratula­tions and thanks to everybody involved with a special mention to Gerard Healy, Pat Barron, Derek Russell and their families for their sterling effort and major contributi­on towards ensuring people with cancer receive the very best, most up to date treatment and care. The NECRET team
