The family of Cíara Mc Kenna along with the Inishowen Vintage Club Moville have organised a tractor run on Sunday, October 16 to raise funds for the Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin.
Registration on the day is from 9.30am at Centra, Moville and the run will be leaving at 10.30am sharp.
The route is Moville, Carndonagh, Buncrana (stopping off in Mc Kenna’s Centra for Lunch) and home via Muff, finishing off in the Corner Bar, Moville.
Registration is €20 on the day per driver/tractor and any passengers on the tractors are asked to pay €5 to cover a lunch fee.
All drivers and passengers will be entered into a draw for a €250 fuel voucher (Sponsored by A&N Fuels).
Cíara was born on March 23 this year, at eight weeks old Cíara became very unwell and she was transferred to Crumlin Hospital where she was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.
Cíara required several months of close observation and eternal feeding to aid her weight gain.
Thankfully, at five months Cíara had her life saving cardiac procedure carried out in Crumlin Hospital and she is currently doing well.
While Cíara was in hospital her parents, Ciaran and Danielle, were very grateful to avail of the Parents Accommodation within the hospital.
This provides accommodation 365 days a year to parents/guardians of children who are inpatients within the hospital at a minimum rate.
This accommodation along with other accommodations within the foundation relies profoundly on fundraising and donations to keep the service in place.
Cíara’s family have also set up a Just Giving fundraising page to raise much needed funds.
