The Morrissey family and Cian’s friends in Waterford and South Tipperary area have come together to
organise a Tractor, Truck, Car Run and family fun day on Sunday 3rd November with the proceeds to The
Oak Ward at University Hospital Waterford.
The event will be held in Ballymacarbry Community Centre.
We would like to thank all the local people, businesses and companies who have donated so generously for our raffle 
and auction. 
There are many items from drums of oil, tools, coal, firewood, farm implements, vouchers, hotel stays, 
hampers, jackets, overalls, fuel vouchers plus many more items.   We will also have some merchandise on the day 
that has been designed for this run.  Have your wallets full to donate to this wonderful cause.
Cian’s love of machinery was from a young age and his days were spent driving all sorts of tractors and
machinery from big to small right across the world from at home in Knockacoola all the way to New
Zealand. Along the way Cian made many friends and we see it fitting that this event will be a gathering of
all Cian’s colleagues and many friends far and wide.

Cian lost his battle after an 18 month fight against Cancer, we are grateful to all the doctors, nurses and all
those that looked after Cian during his illness. Cian’s last weeks were spent in the Oak Ward in University
Hospital Waterford and we can never repay the kindness, care and attention shown to Cian, to our family
and friends during this time, nothing was too much trouble for the staff of the Oak Ward.

For this, we are holding this fundraiser to ensure that other families and friends experience the care and
support when their loved ones are under the palliative care team at the Oak Ward.  
On the day we have music, kids entertainment, face painting, refreshments, a raffle and monster auction.  
There is something for all the family.   
Please come along to Ballymacarbry Community Centre on Sunday 3rd November from 11am.
See Flyer for full details and follow our Facebook page Cian’s Convoy for Cancer for the latest information.
