Murroe Vintage Tractor Run pictured presenting a cheque for over €8,000 they raised previously for Limerick Marine Search and Rescue
A GROUP of six men based in Newport and Murroe are set to drive their tractors from Malin Head to Mizen Head to raise money for the Irish Cancer society.
The men taking part are Paddy Finn, Sean White, Kieran Moore, Harry Sheedy, Paul Moloney and Tom Ryan, who are all members of the Murroe Vintage Tractor Run Committee.
Paddy Finn revealed that this is a “cause close to everyone's heart.” He said: “I am especially proud to be part of this tractor run doing it in memory of my late father Ned.” Ned died from cancer in 2008 and Paddy's uncle Willie Barry also passed away from cancer last Christmas.

Paddy is looking forward to undertaking the long drive over three days from Donegal to Cork and said there's “a bit of rivalry” between the men in the group. “There's three of us from Tipperary doing it, and there's three of us from Limerick doing it!”
The local men will make their way from Donegal to Galway on Friday, April 24, cross over the ferry into Tarbert, Co Kerry on Saturday, April 25 before finally arriving in Cork on Sunday, April 26.
