A Longford Motorcycle club has put together a day of entertainment to raise funds for a very worthy charity.
The Longford Hospice Homecare fundraiser by Heatseizers Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club and Creegans Bunlahy, Ballinalee, Longford takes place this Saturday, October 28, 2023.
County Longford Hospice Homecare CLG is a seven day Homecare support service provided by a team of specialist healthcare professionals who provide care, support and advice to help patients and their families manage problems associated with life-limiting illness.
The fundraiser for much needed support for Longford Hospice Homecare. Noel Jordan of Heatseizers MCC said: “The scourge of cancer has touched everyone's home in one way or another and the fantastic support offered by Longford Hospice Homecare is second to none supporting and helping patients and their families manage problems associated with life limiting illness.”
Noel said this is their latest fundraiser: “We as a club have been fundraising for local and national charities for almost 30 years organising and attending Honda 50 runs and motorcycle charity events, the club was founded in 1994.
“We will be having a children's fancy dress party from 4pm till 6pm with prizes for best costumes.
There will be games, face painting and DJ Gary will keep everyone bopping. Also snacks, drinks and treats for the kids and finger food and hot drinks for the adults,” he told.
Admission is free with donations for the fundraiser gladly accepted. On Saturday night from 7.30pm the club will be showing the award winning film 'Freebirds'.
'Freebirds' tells the true stories of a group of friends who have a love for motorcycles and their personal experiences of coming to terms with the loss of loved ones and friends through fatal accidents.
“Afterwards we'll be treated to some rock music by fantastic bands Lazarus Brother and Rocka-Fellas with DJ Gary providing the tunes for what will be a great night's music and entertainment,” Noel said.
Admission is €10 with plenty of fabulous door prizes on the night.
Tickets are available from club members, Creegans Bunlahy or pay at the door on the night.
