Tractor run for Hospices in memory of James
The much-loved Ballyheigue resident, the late James Russell, will be remembered next week with a charity tractor run which will travel all the way from his adopted Ballyheigue to his hometown in Donegal.
Kerry Hospice and Donegal Hospice are set to benefit from the fundraiser, which will travel an impressive 500km/310 miles to honour the memory of James who did so much for the local community.
Taking part in the run will be his brother-in-law, Terence McClintock, who will travel the four-day journey from May 21st to 24th on the family’s 780 David Brown tractor along with five other tractors which will be transported by lorry to Kerry ahead of the run.
