🙏🙏 Paddy and Orla from Mc Grory's of Culdaff, presenting sponsorship to retired station sub-officer Eunan Doherty in aid of the Aoibheann's Pink Tie Charity cycle 🙏🙏

A huge thanks to Mc Grorys of Culdaff for their continued support.

Eunan, along with Seamus "The Mason" McLaughlin & Shaun "Bill" Mc Laughlin will join over 140 firefighters from across Ireland and the USA taking on an epic challenge: cycling the iconic Wild Atlantic Way covering over 460km's – all in support of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie , Ireland’s national children’s cancer charity.

Every kilometre pedalled is for the brave children fighting cancer every single day. Donegal Firefighters are proud to dedicate all funds raised to Aoibheann’s Pink Tie, supporting their work to build accommodation in Dublin for families of children undergoing treatment.

🚒 Support Your Local Firefighters 🚒

Three familiar faces from your local fire station — Seamus "The Mason" McLaughlin, Shaun "Bill" McLaughlin and retired Station Sub-Officer Eunan Doherty — will soon be swapping helmets and fire hoses for bikes as they take on the Wild Atlantic Way Cycle 2025.

Eunan is a retired Sub Station Officer after 26 years of service, Seamus is a well-known face in the community and a keen cyclist, while Shaun Bill has taken on many endurance challenges before, but says this one is special. Together, they are proud to represent our community in support of children and families who need it most.

This September, they will join 140 firefighters from across Ireland and the New York Fire Department (FDNY) to cover an incredible 442km from Newcastle West, Limerick to the 9/11 Memorial Garden in Kinsale, Cork.

The event honours the memory of firefighters who gave their lives on 9/11, while raising vital funds for charity. Our American colleagues will be raising money to support firefighters affected by 9/11, while here in Donegal, every cent we raise will go directly to Aoibheann's Pink Tie — Ireland’s National Children’s Cancer Charity.

Aoibheann’s Pink Tie is Ireland’s National Children’s Cancer Charity. They provide vital practical and emotional support to families of children battling cancer. Right now, they are working on an incredible project — building family accommodation in Dublin so parents can stay close to their child while they undergo treatment. No parent should have to face the heartbreak of being far from their child at such a time, and this new facility will be a lifeline for families all across Ireland, including Donegal.

💛 Please support your local firefighters and help us make a difference. Every donation, big or small, will bring hope, comfort, and strength to families who need it most.
