Nagle family hand over €26,000 to Pieta
By Sean Moriarty
The family of a tragic Castlemaine teenager who died in a quad-bike accident, handed over funds raised during a car run in his memory.
Ryan Nagle would have celebrated his 16th birthday on August 8.
His parents Irene and Brian, their family and a group of Ryan’s friends, organised a car, truck, motorcycle and tractor run in his memory.
Nearly one thousand vehicles took part in the run between Milltown, Tralee and St Carthages’ Church in Killtallagh, were Ryan is laid to rest.
Between them they raised a staggering €26,719.28 and they donated the money to counselling service Pieta after the Tralee-based charity helped Irene cope with the death of her son.
On Tuesday night the family handed over a cheque to Pieta’s Funding and Advocacy Coordinator for the South West, Con O'Connor.
“It was a phenomenal amount of money to raise and we are just so grateful to the Nagle family, it was one of the biggest motor runs to ever happen in Mid Kerry,” he said.
