Convoy
The Convoy was launched in 2000 and is a 60 mile drive around the Fermanagh lakes. This spectacle of trucks produces excellent PR and invites supporters to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The convoy takes place in Irvinestown on 22th July 2012.
The Convoy unites lorry drivers and local communities across the West of the province in this fundraising event. Our aim is to offer a fundraising activity which enables people to engage with their local community through the huge spectacle of the Convoy whilst raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Every penny received from the Convoy enables Marie Curie Nurses to care for people with terminal illnesses in their own homes, free of charge.
We have had as many as 600 lorries taking part in this event and what a spectacle it is. Enthusiasm for this event in Co Fermanagh is huge and the event has gone from strength to strength each year and involves the whole community from lorry drivers to shop keepers to families.
