Fundraising motorbike ride held in memory of a young man who died after entering the River Foyle


Father's Day event held again to remember Jack Glenn
A fundraising motorbike ride has been held in memory of a young man who died after entering the River Foyle four years ago.
Jack Glenn (23), from Artigarvan near Strabane, died in March 2017.
His family mounted a huge search operation along the River Foyle, spanning almost two months, and launched the GetJackBack Facebook page to co-ordinate the hundreds of people who took part in the daily and nightly searches.
After Jack's death, his father Colin organised a motorbike event on Father's Day to raise money for local charities.
Colin said Father's has been a hard time for him since he lost his son and that the memorial bike run, which took place again yesterday, was a welcome distraction.
This year's event was support by Graham Warke, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council.
