Plane Pull Fundraiser

in aid of Special Olympics Ireland


We have been proud supporters of Special Olympics Ireland since 2009 and were thrilled to participate in their Plane Pull fundraiser in Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel.

7 members of the Insomnia Team took on the ultimate test of strength and team work successfully pulling a 10,450lb aeroplane!

As part of the event, the team set up a group fundraising page and have currently raised €2,275 for the amazing athletes of Special Olympics Ireland.
