Tower Inn Timahoe raising money for Laois Offaly Families For Autism

A Laois town is being invited to achieve a superhuman feat by "Pulling Together For Autism" this month.

The Tower Inn is putting up a challenge to the people in Timahoe both young and old to come together for children with autism.

The challenge is to pull not only a truck and lowloader but the added weight of a bulldozer.

This seemingly crazy challenge means pulling 85 tonnes a distance of 20 feet, with just people power.placeholder image

Úna Murphy and Liam Headen proprietors are hoping to raise lots of money for Laois Offaly Families For Autism (LOFFA).

"If we pull together as a community anything is possible all while raising funds for a very worthy cause," Úna told the Leinster Express / Laois Live.

The challenge will take place on Sunday, May 26, at 5pm. It will follow Saturday's Timahoe Truck, Tractor and Vintage Run.
