Big tractor run on Saturday in memory of Donal Chapman to raise funds for Longford MS

A tractor run in memory of Donal Chapman who lost his battle with MS just over one year ago will take place on Saturday,  November 25.  

We can all remember Donal’s heart of gold and dedication to Longford MS and we urge everyone that has a tractor or encourage tractors drivers to make this one of the biggest Tractor Runs ever in this area.

Donal was a great advocate of the MS Society (Longford) and with a great strength of character and enthusiasm he took part in many daring fundraising events such as a Skydive, Bungee Jump, and the Christmas Day Swim to mention a few. He could not stress enough the support and good that the MS Society does for those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis hence he has left us with a lasting memory. 

The Tractor Run is organised by neighbours and friends, along with remembering Donal Chapman, it will raise badly needed funds for Longford Multiple Sclerosis. The ‘Tractor Run’ will start at ‘The Local’ Newtowncashel with registration from 1pm.

The Run will start at 2.30pm and the route will go from the local to Derryhaun down, through Lanesboro and over to St Faithleach’s club grounds. It will return via the Rathcline Road, across Bullockstown and up through Killinure to finish at the Pier Inn, Lisnacusha.  

There will be a Kids Tractor Run in Lisnacusha and there will also be an early visit from the magical man Santa where all youngsters can give their list to the great man. The very popular Acting the Maggot will finish off the day’s proceedings with another fabulous music night in the Pier Inn.
