Classic car run for ‘Help Rose Bloom’ campaign
‘Help Rose Bloom’ is the chosen charity for the 11th Ballymac Classic Car and Honda 50 run.
Based at O’Riada’s Bar, Ballymac, the event will take place this Sunday (August 8) and is organised by the Kingdom Vintage Veteran and Classic Car Club.
Ahead of the run, a static ‘Cars ‘n Coffee’ event will be held the grounds of the Ballymac bar between 10am and 12 noon.
'Help Rose Bloom' has been set up by the O’Flaherty family from Ballymac.
Their daughter Rose was diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA1), a severe genetic condition that weakens muscles and causes problems with movement – when she was just nine-months-old.
SMA1 children typically have a life expectancy of just two years, but Rose has been defying medical odds ever since her diagnosis.
“The local community has been raising funds to help her family gain access to vital medicines,” said KVCCC’s George Glover, who is one of the main organisers.
