Beaufort man to be remembered at annual tractor run
A tractor run will take place on October 16 to raise funds for the Kerry Cork Health Link Bus.
This year’s run, which starts in Beaufort, will be in memory of local man Jimmy O’Sullivan who passed away last year from cancer.
His brother John is a member of Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club who are hosting the event, and he and Jimmy’s wife Mary wanted to do something locally in his honour and to raise funds for locally-based cancer charities.
The run will start at 11am from Kissane's Shop Beaufort and will follow a route via Glencar and Caragh Lake.
“We are delighted to be able to support this charity,” said club secretary Rich O’Donoghue. “The Kerry Cork Health Link Bus is a service that nobody wants to need to use but is very important to those who do.”
All tractors must be 20 years or older - refreshments will be provided after the tractor run when it returns to Cronin's Yard later that day.
Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic
Glenflesk GAA Healthy Club recently welcomed the Dillon Quirke Foundation to run a cardiac screening clinic for its young members.
A total of 45 club players aged 12 to 18 underwent vital heart checks designed to promote early detection and heart health awareness among young athletes.
Medical personnel from Advanced Medical Services conducted the screenings with professionalism and care, while the club’s Healthy Club Team oversaw the smooth operation of the event.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation operates without government funding, relying entirely on public support to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and provide non-cost cardiac clinics to sports clubs across Ireland.
Glenflesk GAA encourages anyone wishing to support the foundation’s ongoing screening work to consider making a donation online at dillonquirkefoundation.com.
