The National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) based out of the Symptomatic Breast Unit at University Hospital Galway has thanked all involved in the recent Saddlers Inn Tractor/Truck Charity Run which raised funds in aid of the charity.
The 13th such annual event took place on New Year’s Day, Wednesday, January 1st in aid of the NBCRI and Western Alzheimers.
Following the presentation of the proceeds by Sean and Liz Flanagan to Patrick Casey, Director of Operations at the NBCRI, a spokesperson for the Institute said: “Well done to all involved”.
In a post of their Facebook page the Saddlers Inn (located at Kingsland, near Boyle, Co Roscommon) said: “Another year over us and another successful drive. 13 years since our very first drive. A sincere thank you to everyone who took part today. Without you we have no drive.
”Thank you to everyone who did stewarding, who held a bucket and who helped with the tea. We are still receiving donations and we will be back… with our total amount raised”.
Speaking to the Roscommon People, Sean Flanagan emphasised his thanks to all the participants, volunteers and those who donated.
Mr Flanagan confirmed to the Roscommon People that €7,913.10 was raised this year and that the proceeds are being divided evenly between the two local charities with each receiving donations of €3,956.55.
