We would like to say a huge thank you to the Owens Family for raising a fantastic Β£31,700 for Evora Hospice!
The money was raised through the Coast to Coast Charity Cycling event which took place on the 23rd August and saw 17 people cycle from the east to the west coast starting in Warrenpoint and finishing in Sligo,
This event was held in memory of Lisa Owens, a dearly loved wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who passed last year in September 2024,
In their own words the family would like to say the following:
"The Owens family would like to extend our deepest thanks to the members of the Armagh Down Cycling Club for all their support in organising and running the Coast to Coast Charity Cycling Event.
We would also like to sincerely thank the sponsors of the cycling jersey:
Sure Freight Β· Convery Ceilings Β· Comiskey Motors Β· Gig Grafter Β· Ian Mallon Solicitors Β· Kellihers Electrical Β· Cushman & Wakefield Β· Owens Joinery
A special thank you to Watters Electrical for the use of their van, and to McAnultyβs Yellow Line Coaches for their support with transport.
We are also so grateful to all the local businesses for their generous contributions, and to everyone who donated or helped in any way to make this event such a success.
Thanks to your kindness and generosity, between the Coast to Coast Cycle and the Coffee Morning, we raised a total of Β£38,800. This incredible amount will help ensure that other families like ours continue to have access to the same exceptional care, compassion, and comfort that carried us through.
A massive thank you to all β we couldnβt have done it without you."
Thank you to the Owens Family and all those who showed their support through donating!
