I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of TLC4CF , myself & my family for your support and generosity at Jumpstart on Saturday. Despite the rain showers it was a great day, plenty of VW's, loads of great people and lots of craic.

as Coxy posted earlier,the final tally isnt done just yet but it's almost €2,300 so far , andwith more donations to be confirmed and received it's looking like we may be just shy of €3,000
(y)

I'd like to thank each and everyone of you that donated prizes,donated money online, bought raffle tickets, Or helped out in anyway.

I never imagined we'd raise this amount and 100% of the money raised goes directly to TLC4CF, to help improve the services available to people with Cystic Fibrosis, these are services that make a real difference to the people with CF and for their families


If you were not able to attend and would like to donate to this wonderful and life changing charity please do so. Go to www.tlc4cf.com you can donate through the TLC4CF mycharity page , type "JUMPSTART" in the message section just for reference to the event or you can also donate through the TLC4CF paypal page

Thanks again!

Only getting to have a decent look at the pictures of Jumpstart '15, some lovely motors made it down to Mayors County.

Looks like a brilliant day fair play Coxy and the lads going mad I missed it again.

Great news for TLC4CF.

Last night Cathal, Graham and I were delighted to be able to present a cheque to TLC4CF for €3,086.




once again, I'd just like to thank everyone that supported Jumpstart and our chosen charity this year(y)

I'd also like to thank the Eircooled committee for the generous donation on behalf of the club.

Yes, well done Brian and Cathal, you both came across very well and did the VW scene proud. Then again the tractor crowd didn't set the bar very high!
