Last Sunday

What could be better for the soul, than a morning shift in the Mid West,which involved runs to/from Limerick, Clare and Tipperary, followed by an afternoon ride-out in support of a fantastic cause, the Daughters of Charity. (Ride-out organised by Buachaill Dana Motorcycle Club, Castleconnell) And well done and thanks to Blood Bike Mid West Volunteer and cameraman William Campbell and to everyone who participated in or supported today's ride-out. And a huge thanks to all at Buachaill Dana and their families for organising today.

As the long weekend comes to an end our volunteers can hopefully take a little time for themselves and their families. It was a fairly busy weekend for us with a total of 39 jobs completed. The Limerick city marathon on Sunday saw most of the city closed off but even so we had no problems getting our runs done. Thanks to all our volunteers and supporters.
