Donegal auto dealers and gym squads are gearing up to support Relay for Life with a special edition of the Donegal International Car Push!
The Donegal International Car Push is back on Wednesday, May 21st at 7pm.
The 2017 edition was a great success, but this time around they’ve enlisted the strong folk at local gyms and fitness centres to do the pushing this time!

The route will be as follows: starting point at Divers’ Hyundai onto the Neil T. Blaney Road, turning left at the Joe Bonner Road traffic lights, joining the Port Road again, turning left at the Station House Roundabout and then passing the Community Centre again back to the starting point at Divers’ for a second lap.
Plans are also in place to hire a rally or celebrity drivers to steer the cars around the course also!
Relay for Life is the biggest cancer fundraising initiative across the world. It sees communities across the globe coming together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and stand shoulder to shoulder with those facing cancer. Relay For Life is a celebration of solidarity and helps to raise awareness of the services provided by the Irish Cancer Society locally and nationally.

To provide these services requires significant funding and as only approximately 5% of the Irish Cancer Society’s annual funding comes from Government Funds, it depends on events such as Relay For Life Donegal to help raise the monies needed.
Obviously not everyone will be able to be present on the day, but donations can be made online through the following link: https://www.relayforlife.ie/event/donegal/donate
Relay has something to offer everyone, so please do join us to find out more about this amazing event.
