Charity ride for Keelan Hurley

Published at Oct 14, 2010, 21:22

Former jockey Larry Hurley's son Keelan will be the beneficiary of a charity ride at Tramore trainer Pat Flavin's Lake Tour Stables on Saturday.

Keelan, is suffering from leukemia and Flavin explained: "It's on at twelve o'clock. There is plenty of jumping but the jumping will be optional. It will be suitable for everybody - there could be up to eighty or a hundred fences I'd say.

"If anyone is planning on coming just contact me or come along on the day. My number is 086 – 8128631. I think there has been a little bit of progress with Keelan, I'm not a hundred per cent sure. He was in hospital for a good few months early on, he has been very sick."
