The Annual Bear Run is taking place across the north-west all weekend to much fanfare. The cavalcade started its journey on Saturday morning in Derry and made its way through Killybegs then Dungloe before parking up in Letterkenny for the night. It went onto Inishowen to Redcastle and will return to Letterkenny’s Port Road on Sunday evening. Michael and Lisa Gallagher from Ramelton with their son Michael and family pooch (NW Newspix) Some 48 super cars and American Muscle cars are part, with their appearance in Derry coinciding with the city’s Jazz Festival. Thanks to organiser Keith ‘Bear’ Gamble from Lifford, proceeds will go to Bumbleance and event organisers have also promised to make a donation to First Housing Aid and Support Services. Bumbleance is the Children’s Ambulance Service of Ireland. They provide safe and comfortable transportation for Ireland’s youngest patients as they travel between their homes and hospitals, hospices, treatment centres, and respite centres nationwide.placeholder image
