Today is World Health Day💛
There are over 8,000 families in Ireland caring for children with life-limiting conditions. With all major children’s hospitals located in Dublin, families often have to travel many long hours by car, or longer by public transport.
This is where BUMBLEance steps in 🐝🚑
We’re so excited to share the route of one of our most anticipated fundraisers - coming to a town near you!
Join us in your local area to see 74 incredible supercars, meet the BUMBLEance team, and help raise vital funds for Ireland’s youngest patients. 💛
