The presentation of the cheque was made at Treacy's, The Heath this week after the hugely successful road run on August 17 and photographer Michael Scully was there to capture the celebrations.

This was the 27th annual event and since their inception in 1996, Laois Vintage has raised and donated €1,063,919.00 to Laois Hospice.

"Each year the response for our Vintage Road Runs has been excellent, where vintage enthusiasts look forward to the opportunity of driving, their lovingly restored cars, bikes and indeed tractors on the open road, while at the same time raising much needed funds for this very necessary and worthwhile charity," said event organisers.

"This outstanding achievement could not, or would not, have been achieved without the help of our exceptionally dedicated vintage enthusiasts, bucket collectors, and sponsors, who, year after year, give so generously of their time and money. So, our sincere and appreciative thanks to all."
