Killarney bikers are organising a charity bike run this Saturday in memory of Denis Foley, a well-known local biker who tragically died in a motorcycle accident in Spain last year.
Denis’s friend, Aidan Foley, along with fellow Killarney bikers, have organised the event.
Registration will take place from 10 am at the Old Killarney Inn, with the bike run departing at 12 pm.
All types of bikes are welcome, and the entry fee is €25 per bike. Refreshments will be provided when the bikers return, and there will also be a raffle and music later in the evening.
Aidan has set up an online fundraising page for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
He said, “Their support during such a heartbreaking time meant more than words can express, and now I want to give back so they can continue helping other families in need.”
Denis’s niece, Grace Foley, explained how much the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust helped their family after Denis’s passing in October 2024.
“Their support in getting Denis home to Killarney took so much of the burden from our minds and allowed us to grieve without that added worry. On behalf of the Foley family, Denis’s soulmate Joan and all his friends, I would like to express our eternal gratitude to this incredible organisation.”
Grace described Denis as a “gentleman with a rogue-ish smile” who loved dogs and was a beloved brother, partner, uncle, cousin, and friend.
His passion for biking took him on many adventures all over the world including the famed Route 66 in the United States of America.
