THE sister of the late Oisin Gregg has organised a car run to raise funds for Air Ambulance NI.
The fundraiser is in memory of Oisin and to celebrate his birthday on the 2nd of August when he would have turned 19.
The car run will take place on Sunday 4th August 2024 and will start in Belleek GAA grounds at 1.30pm, with plans to leave at 2pm taking the same route as the tractor run.
“We chose a car run because Oisin always had a love for cars, he loved cars, he loved working on cars, he loved looking at cars, he loved just driving them – anything to do with cars he loved,” explained Oisin’s sister Aoife.
“The Air Ambulance came out to Oisin’s scene and they were so good, they were so quick and everyone needs the air ambulance,” she said.
Aoife would also appreciate if any local businesses could donate raffle prizes as she has decided to hold a raffle to also help raise money for the Air Ambulance.
The popular 18-year-old had tragically succumbed to injuries suffered in a crash in Kesh on June 7.
In what was a first for the diocese according to the bishop, both Erne Gaels GAA and North Fermanagh Young Defenders provided a guard of honour for Oisin as his coffin was carried in for his funeral service at Slavin Parish Church.
Rev Guildea said such a show of unity was a testament to the teenager, who was “the most joyful, caring person you could ever meet.”
“I think that says it all about Oisin because he offered the hand of friendship to everyone,” she said at his funeral service. “He didn’t pick sides.”
