About

Charity Tractor & Truck Run in Loving Memory of John Doole
Join us for a special community Tractor & Truck Run as we come together to celebrate the life and memory of John Doole while raising vital funds for Air Ambulance Northern Ireland.
John tragically lost his life in a road traffic collision in February this year at just 11 years old. He was a much-loved son, brother, uncle and friend whose infectious smile, kind heart, and joyful spirit touched everyone who knew him. He is deeply missed every day.
In John's memory, his family has organised this special event to honour his life and support a cause that means so much to them. It's an opportunity for the local community to come together, remember John, and help make a difference for others.
