This Saturday, 7th July, will once again see hundreds of bikers turn out to support “Sandra’s Run” - now in its 13th year. Named in memory of Sandra Boyle who died in 1991 after a three year battle with leukaemia, the annual event follows a route around County Donegal from Killybegs. Organised by Sandra’s parents Rosaleen and Jim Boyle, funds will be raised this year for the Temple Street Foundation with a
donation to Killybegs Town Development. The first Sandra’s Run in 2005 had just 14 bikes - by last year’s event this had grown to 320 bikers on everything from scooters to trikes to a selection of motorbikes from all counties of Ireland and further afield. Famously now trees, fences, gates, doors and other items along the route have teddy bears and other stuffed toys attached to them in memory of Sandra.
In total over the years Sandra’s Run has raised over €250,000 for good causes and it is hoped that this year’s event will make a significant contribution to the Temple Street charity. This year’s route will first head to Kilcar before coming back through Killybegs to Donegal Town and then on to Fintown before making its way back to Killybegs via Glenties and Ardara.
