TULLYALLEN TRACTOR RUN
The organizers of the Tullyallen Tractor run would like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you who supported our tractor Run over Christmas. Each contribution, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated and they are blown away each and every year by the generosity of the local people, and those who go out of their way to travel to be with them. The final tally has yet to be done, but it is safe to say, that they have all outdone themselves once again for the amazing causes that are the Oncology Ward in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and Tullyallen Carers
