Barnardos in Westmeath is partnering with organisers of the Cannonball Run for a new fundraising initiative.

The Cannonball is an annual event involving super cars that travels across Ireland, while raising money for charity.

A GoFundMe page has been created where users can select the individual shop they want their money given to.
