Charity Partner Success at 2011 Relentless International North West 200

20/09/2011

High profile Coleraine based charity fundraiser David Boyle MBE - AKA ‘The Caring Caretaker’, was the 2011 Relentless International North West 200 Charity of the Year and raised a total of £15,000 on behalf of his nominated charities during NW200 Race Week. 

Davy who works tirelessly on behalf of groups such as Autism Society NI, NI Chest Heart & Stroke Association, Ulster Cancer Foundation, Motor Neuron Disease, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Age NI, Parkinson’s Disease Society, Zest and the Samaritans, said “I’m delighted with the amount we’ve raised and  want to thank not only all those people who helped, but also Coleraine & District Motor Club for the opportunity of being the NW200’s charity partner.”.  This brings the total raised by the Caring Caretaker this year alone to £23,000 and Davy is well on the way to reaching his target of £50,000 for 2011.

Davy and his supporters organised a series of quirky events such as ‘Jail & Bail’ as well as more mainstream initiatives including golf tournaments, concerts, sponsored diets and walks. Each year Davy supports a range of charities and since starting his charity work back in the 1990’s has raised almost £300,000 and was awarded an MBE in the 2006 New Year’s Honours List for his charity commitments.

Coleraine & District would like to thank Davy for all his hard work and wish him every success with his future charity work. He really is “The Caring Caretaker!”
