motor-bikers get together to honour the memory of a young girl called Sandra Boyle of Killybegs, County Donegal, who tragically lost her life to leukaemia on the eve of her 18th birthday. Her parents, Jim and Rosaleen, organise this charity event each year to honour Sandra and also to raise a lot of money for various charities.
Teddy bears and other soft toys are tied to fences, poles, trees etc. along route of the ride and bikers and cars on it usually have soft toys tied to them. It really is heart-warming and quite a sight to see and shows the support of so many for this event.
If you are on the route, please try to have at least one soft toy attached to your fence, gate, etc. And be sure to get out to wave to the bikers as they pass!
