Around the World for the Irish Wheelchair Association

September 6, 2017 by DABC

DABC was happy to provide a letter of support for the Around the World for the Irish Wheelchair Association campaign and meet with Frank Savino and Niall Conway, who are riding a pair of Honda Transalps around the world on behalf of the Irish Wheelchair Association, John Sullivan Resource Centre in Clane Co Kildare.

The aim is to raise money for a new bus to transport clients, a target of approx €38k for the entry level bus.

The trip is fully funded by Niall and Frank and all money raised goes directly towards the new bus.
