1000 bikers raise cash for sick children

One thousand people will travel across Ireland on motorbikes today, to raise money for a children's charity.

The Annual Across Ireland motorcycle run, now in it's ninth year, has organised the trip, from Dublin to Galway and back in two days, to raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation.

Last year, the event raised more than €140,000 for the charity, which grants wishes for children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.
