The Route 66 Motorcycle Challenge 2012
Temple Street Children’s University Hospital and Irish 66ers prepare for their 6th trip down “the mother of all mother roads”
Welcome to the story of the Irish 66′ers. Read through our brief but memorable history since our inaugural visit to America’s Mother Road, the Will Rogers Highway, to us the Historic Route 66. In 2002 we paid our first visit to the road that linked America, our return in 2004 planned before we reached California we have since completed the route in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
Now as we get ready to prepare for our Fundraising Challenge for September 2012 departure many will be adding a 6th notch to their saddlebags, Route 66 has the magic to do that. It is iconic, it is historic, it is wild, it is wonderful and in its totality, it is America.
The folk we meet, the genuine hospitality, the fellow cowboys of the road, the sunrise and sunsets, the scenery all lend to the mixture that makes this wonderful road so beautifully addictive. And what better way to see it than with your friends, on your bike, the immense benefit of mutual recollection forever etched on your life’s history sheet.
Always with us are those we represent, the fantastic children of Temple Street Children’s Hospital, the magnificent staff who care for them and the many people who support us in our fundraising for this great Hospital. They are our Biker Buddies and on their behalf the Irish 66′ers have so far raised €2 million euro on our five, previous Challenges. With our 6th just over a year away we look forward to flying a wonderful Temple Street Flag.
If you feel you are up for this amazing Fundraising Challenge or feel you can support or help us in any way please contact Angi McNulty, Special Events Manager, Fundraising Office at Temple Street Children’s University Hospital, Dublin 1, IRELAND.
