Freemount Macra Tractor Run

The Freemount Macra Fundraising Tractor run will take place again this year on the 15th January 2023 at Lismire GAA Hall registration from 11.30 to 12.30. The chosen charity for this years tractor run is the LauraLynn Foundation. LauraLynn is Ireland's only Children's Hospice providing palliative and hospice care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families from all across Ireland. LauraLynn, provides a range of services including, symptom management for children, music and play therapy, psychological support, family and sibling camps, short breaks, crisis care and end-of-life care. LauraLynn receives €1.5m core statutory funding per year which equates to approximately 33% of overall running costs for the hospice. LauraLynn relies primarily on fundraised income to fund its hospice services. We have previously fundraised for charities such as Cope Foundation Kanturk, The Down Syndrome centre Cork, and the Community Air Ambulance. In 2021 we raised over €7,500 for the community Air Ambulance.
