Little Harry, from Glenarm, was diagnosed with leukaemia in late 2021.

In order to undergo treatment, Harry and his family will have to relocate to Bristol for several months.

The fundraiser has been organised by Amy McCaw and her family, with proceeds from the event going to the Simpson family to help cover their costs.

For her 18th birthday in March, Amy asked to arrange the fundraising road run to support their family friends.

Amy weighed 510g at birth and was ill in hospital for a long time and faced many complications due to her prematurity.

The McCaw family are always grateful to those who supported them during those difficult months.

To mark her special birthday, Amy wanted to support another family who face many months with a child in hospital.

The road run will be held on Saturday 19 March at the Runway, Moss Road, Millisle, with the kind permission of Walter and Richard Brown and Mr Sam McCormick.

Registered tractors, lorries and classic cars are welcome on site from 12 noon, but no spectators can be admitted to the assembly venue due to space restrictions.

The run will start promptly at 1.30pm and spectators are welcome along the route which will be published on the Facebook event page, which can be found here.

Pre-registration is preferred via this google form - https://forms.gle/M2BQvqFQWt58NoDX8 and payment can be made by card by clicking the links in the form.

This will help reduce congestion on the day and also ensure secure payments are made online.

The McCaw family are very grateful for the support of the local community and local businesses for this event, and hope that the funds raised support Harry and his family during their time away from home.
