                                                                                        Picture
                                                                                        Since 2006,  The Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney, Co Kerry and Harley Davidson Ireland have been supporting Muscular Dystrophy Ireland with our Awareness and Fundraising activities.  This fundraising initiative has gone from strength to strength each year.  The 2011 rally or "Ireland Bike Fest 2011" took place from 3rd - 5th June and was a huge success and this year raised nealy €20,000 for MDI. 

                                                                                        MDI would like to thank the Staff and Management of the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney for once again organising, hosting and sponsoring this event.  Thanks also to Martina Mayse and fellow members of the Kerry Branch of MDI for all their hard work with selling tickets etc.  And finally, thanks to everyone who sold and bought tickets and helped to make this event a great success. 

                                                                                        Draw Results

                                                                                        The draw took place on Sunday 5th June 2011 and the results were:
