Locals are being urged to show their support for a vital cause as the countdown begins for the Firies charity raffle.

Organised by motorcycle enthusiast Sean Collins, the fundraiser is a final push to collect much-needed funds for the Dunmanway Cancer Day Care Unit at Cork University Hospital.

The top prize is a high-quality electric bike, which was made possible through the generous support of O’Sullivan’s Cycles and KC Print Ltd.

Sean is no stranger to fundraising for cancer services, having successfully raised €2,400 for the same unit via a motorcycle run last year.

He has now turned his focus to this raffle to ensure the facility at CUH continues to receive the help it needs to care for patients.

The draw is set to take place on Sunday, June 7, at Henderson’s Bar in Firies.

For those who cannot attend in person, the event will be broadcast live on the Henderson’s Bar Facebook page.

Tickets are still available for €10 in various shops throughout Killarney and the surrounding areas. For any last-minute ticket enquiries, Sean Collins can be reached directly at 087 4436650.
