Bradleys to take
part in Mellon challenge in November
Story: Inishowen Independent
Inishowen’s strong connections with the Niall Mellon
Township Challenge is set to continue this year with
the Bradley brothers from Fahan - Paul and Liam -
both set to return to South Africa in November to
continue working on the massive housing project.
Speaking to the Inishowen Independent this week,
Paul explained that the pair had travelled to South
Africa last year and had thoroughly enjoyed their
first experience with the Niall Mellon Township
Challenge. |

“It was very tough work
but it was a great experience and certainly didn’t
put us off the idea of wanting to go back,” Liam
said.
However taking part in the challenge does require a
significant amount of fund raising with the brothers
required to raised €10,000 before they head off
later in the year.
With that in mind they are holding a Night at the
Races in the Cyclists Rest in Fahan on Saturday 12
July at 9.30 pm and have horeses on sale for |
the event.
“We are hoping that as many people as possible will
buy horses for the race night and we’re hoping that
people will also come on board as sponsors,” Liam
added.
He added that the fund raising was all worth it
however when people realised what tremendous work
the project was doing in securing proper housing for
thousands of South African families who are
currently living in shanty towns.
Anyone wishing to buy a horse, sponsor a race or who
wishes to donate towards this worthy cause can
contact Liam on 085-1441234 or Paul on 086-8256943. |
