<div>Hi my name is Debora and setting this up this up on behalf of Sticky Torrens with the help and support from his many friends and daughter Christina 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FUNDRAISER FOR LOCAL LEGEND NEVIN “STICKY” TORRENS
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the early evening of Thursday 12th February 2026, tragedy struck in Ballymoney.
</div>
<div>An air ambulance, four fire engines, and multiple police units were dispatched to the home of Nevin “Sticky” Torrens after a severe fire broke out and rapidly consumed the property.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By the time emergency services arrived, the blaze was already well‑established. In a moment driven by pure instinct and love, Sticky attempted to re‑enter his burning home to rescue his beloved dog. Despite urgent warnings from firefighters, police, and neighbours, he pushed forward — suffering burns and prolonged smoke inhalation. He was airlifted to hospital where is he being kept sedated while he recovers from the affects of the smoke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At first, everyone feared the worst for his dog. But once the fire was finally extinguished, firefighters discovered the dog alive, hiding beneath what remained of a bed. Shaken and co, but safe — the little companion Sticky risked everything for survived. He is now being cared for while Sticky recovers in hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The house itself has been left completely destroyed. Sticky has lost his home, his belongings, and his sense of security and independence - everything in a single night.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>￼ A UNIQUE LOCAL CHARACTER — RESILIENT, TALENTED, AND ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sticky is one of Ballymoney’s most recognisable and well‑loved characters — a man whose life story is marked by hardship, resilience, and remarkable strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From a very young age, he faced tragedies that would have broken many people. But Sticky didn’t just survive them — he rose above them. Through grit, determination, and sheer hard work, he built a life full of colour, skill, and achievement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He became:
</div>
<div>• A passionate hot rod and rally racer, competing with pride winning the Irish Open twice and representing NI in the UK.
</div>
<div>• A successful hair salon owner, known for his talent, humour, and the friendships he built with staff and clients
</div>
<div>• He ran a music production company Massive Productions working with artists including Van Morrison, Kris Kristofferson, Chrissie Hynde, The Cranberries, Ian Drury and the Blockheads and Elvis Costello.
</div>
<div>• A dedicated greyhound trainer, producing multiple racing champions
</div>
<div>Now he has his much loved racing pigeons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sticky’s greatest love has always been animals, treating every creature with gentleness and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sticky has helped a lot of people, never expecting anything in return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would like to get him a static caravan, a few clothes and basics to get him back on his feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If he’s helped you at anytime ? raced alongside you ? fixed your car,? Been your taxi? Helped with your animals ? driven you mad or made you laugh?… please give any donation no matter how small it will would be so appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you ,
</div>
