High nellies set for their biggest challenge on Saturday

CLONASLEE High Nelly club will undertake their most ambitious and physical challenge yet – a 134km cycle from Dublin to Shannonbridge along the scenic Canal GreenWay in support of BUMBLEance on Saturday 11 April. The group has, so far, raised over €10,000 on their iDonate page.
BUMBLEance is a children’s ambulance service established in 2013 travelling 60,000km a year. The service helps to empower the hundreds of families unable to access their child’s medical care by providing nationwide medical transfers in a safe, caring and fun environment, completely free of charge.
BUMBLEance has room for two parents/carers to travel with the child and paramedic. There is also an on-board locker for personal items and a fridge for medication, food and drinks. BUMBLEance provides two key services: one is operated by the National Ambulance Service and manned by EMTs, the other is a driver-only service designed for children who do not need constant medical intervention.
BUMBLEance receives no state funding, meaning services are entirely dependent on donations.
Members of Clonaslee High Nelly group held a collection day at SuperValu Mountmellick on Saturday 28 March and the crew would like to thank all those who supported the collection.
