Briain Kelly, 15 Jun
The Bumblebee1000 supercar extravaganza is making its way through Galway
today, stopping at the Galway plaza and in Loughrea.
The Bumblebee1000 and the Little Blue Heroes charity are taking their
third annual fundraising road trip, happening across Ireland from June
14-16.
This year’s “Fast and Furious” event promises to be a supercar
spectacular, featuring a multi-million Euro convoy of performance and
luxury cars including Italy’s finest Lamborghinis and Ferraris, McLarens,
Nissan GTRs, Bentleys, BMWs and Porsches, plus one or two surprise guest
cars.
Two of the stops for the three day road trip take place in Galway today,
at the Galway Plaza at 12:30pm and at Loughrea Hotel at 1:30pm.
Supported by the dedicated efforts of An Garda Síochána, the drive will
cover multiple towns in three provinces, allowing the charity to meet and
celebrate the Little Blue Heroes ‘Honorary Gardaí’ children at each
designated stop.
These remarkable kids are the heart and soul of our organisation, and they
will have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable day with the convoy
hosted by the drivers and crew of Bumblebee 1000.
“This event wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of the
public, our sponsors, our volunteers, and of course, An Garda Síochána,”
the event organisers state.
“We are immensely grateful for all this support, which enables The Little
Blue Heroes to continue their mission of bringing joy and support to
children who are facing serious illness.”
“We invite everyone to come out and show their support as we travel
through Ireland, spreading smiles and raising vital funds for this amazing
charity.”
