Davy Morgan Racing Supporting:
Action Cancer & Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children
throughout 2013

Davy and his supporters club, will continue their association with Action Cancer and Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children in 2013, by continuing to raise money selling his famous pink helmet replica pin badges and a contribution from all Merchandise sold at race meetings.

The three pin badges can be bought separately at £3 each or £5 for two or £7 for the set of three with a contribution from each badge going to Action Cancer & NICFC.

Our thanks goes to all those kind people who sold and more importantly bought our pin-badges and merchandise in the past four years and not only supported Davy, but also this very important and life changing cause. We hope that once again in 2013 that the racing fraternity will show their generosity and help to support Action Cancer & NICFC.

Supporting NICFC in 2012

At their Annual Dinner Dance at the La-Mon Hotel & Country Club on November 3rd 2012; the Davy Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club and Davy Morgan Racing showed their continued support for Cancer Charities by adding to the £10,350 they have contributed in recent years.

Saintfield Road Racer Davy Morgan and his Supporters Club, despite finding the past season one of the toughest yet financially; still managed to present a cheque for £1000 to the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children from the sale of merchandise and their Pin Badges modelled on Davy’s famous Pink Helmet at race meetings throughout Ireland, UK and Isle of Man. In previous years the team and DM#71 Road Racing Supporters Club’s main charity was Action Cancer, but for 2012 the decision was taken that since their third and final pin badge was promoting Children’s Cancer Awareness that it would be appropriate to support a Children’s Cancer Charity as well and the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children was chosen.

The club have not forgotten Action Cancer and the good relationship that has been built up with them over the past four years, so the plan is to make a presentation to them at the “Davy Morgan Golf Day” on Friday 22nd March 2013 at Knock Golf Club.

Davy Morgan Racing and the DM#71 Road Racing Supporters Club would like to thank everyone who purchased Badges or Merchandise throughout 2012 for their support and generosity.

 
Supporting ACTION CANCER in 2011

Knock Golf Club was the venue on Friday 30th March 2012, for the now annual Davy Morgan Golf Day sponsored by Belfast Honda, BSS Group and EH Services. During the evening Davy Morgan Racing presented a cheque to Action Cancer for £1500.00, which was raised with the continued sale of their 2009 & 2010 Pin Badges and a donation from all merchandise sold at the race transporter at race meetings during the 2011 Road Race Season.

Having just completed their third year of association with Action Cancer it brings the total raised and presented to Action Cancer to £8,000 with a further £2,350 presented to other Cancer Charities. It means that Davy Morgan Racing with the help and support of the Davy Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club has handed over an amazing £10,350.00 since 2009. This total is way beyond anything anticipated and for a small privateer racing team which needs every penny raised just to keep Davy on track, is a credit to their hard work and generosity.

Davy and his Supporters Club will continue to raise funds for Cancer Charity’s in 2012, but as well as their association with Action Cancer they will also support the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children and specifically their Shimna Valley Respite Centre. This is due to the fact that the team will be promoting “Childhood Cancer Awareness” in 2012 and all monies raised will be split between the two charity’s.

At the Davy Morgan Golf Day, the team launched their New Pin Badge for 2012, which despite still being based on Davy’s Pink Hemet has a completely different look to the previous two. It is looking at the front rather than the side of the helmet, is done with gold trim rather than silver and will carry a Gold Ribbon, #71 and the text Childhood Cancer Awareness. A donation from the sale of every badge sold will go to the two charity’s and the DM#71RRSC has again agreed that a donation from all merchandise sold at the race events will also be passed on to the two charity’s at the end of the season.

Kerry Anderson from Action Cancer commented; “This is the third year I have had the pleasure of being invited to a Davy Morgan Racing event to receive a cheque on behalf of Action Cancer. It’s great that the Davy Morgan Supporters Club and Action Cancer have been able to develop this relationship and we are delighted to hear that it will continue for another year. The amount of money raised in three years by the club is brilliant and it is very much appreciated at Action Cancer as it has allowed us to help a lot of people who are going through tough times. Thanks again for your support and we hope the sales of your new badge will go well and of course wish Davy himself a safe and successful 2012.”

Lorna Watson, Northern Ireland Children Cancer Fund, Community Fundraiser says; “We are delighted to have the support from the Davy Morgan Road Racing Supporters Club for 2012. We really do rely on the community to help fund our vital services to families living with a childhood cancer in Northern Ireland. Every week in Northern Ireland, three more children, teenagers or young adults will be diagnosed with cancer. We’re here to listen, and to provide practical, emotional and financial support to them and their families. We wish the club well for the year ahead.”

Davy Morgan commenting on Charity and Racing; “This has been a huge effort from everyone within in the Davy Morgan Racing Team over the past three years and although we as road racers are very focused on ourselves; we have to be, it’s great that we can also be part of helping others out in some little way as we go about our racing. To raise over ten grand in three years is a great achievement and is something we as a small team and club should be proud off. I would like to thank the racing fraternity for supporting us, as without them actually buying the badges and merchandise, this would not have happened and I hope they will continue to support us and our chosen charities in 2012.”

 
Supporting ACTION CANCER in 2010

For the 2010 season Davy, continued his successful association with Action Cancer, but for 2010 it was their "Get a Grip !" campaign, which supports mens prostate cancer. He continued to carry the "Pink Ribbon Logo" on his Helmet, Leathers and Race bikes, to help promote the charity.

The Pin Badge for 2010 again featured Davy's famous Pink Helmet, but this time it carried a blue riband and the "Get a Grip !" logo and sold at £3 each with a contribution from each badge going to Action Cancer. It was not as successful as the first year, but it was not expected to be as a number of other riders used the same idea to raise money for their chosen charity. We did however thanks to the generosity of the road racing fraternity raise more money for Action Cancer and a cheque for £1500 was presented at the Davy Morgan Golf Day sponsored by Belfast Honda on 25th March 2011.

Our thanks goes to all those kind people who sold and more importantly bought our pin-badge in 2010 and not only supported Davy, but also this very important and life changing cause. We hope that once again in 2011 that the racing fraternity will show their generosity and help to support Action Cancer and their "Breast Cancer Awareness" and/or "Get a Grip !" campaign.

So if you see us, please buy a badge or two if you have not got either. To view the badge or join the supporters club, click here.

Supporting ACTION CANCER in 2009

Throughout the 2009 season Davy, had an association with Action Cancer, a major Cancer Charity in Northern Ireland, in particular the "Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign". He carried the "Pink Ribbon Logo" on his Helmet, Leathers and his Race bikes, to help promote the charity.

He set himself a challenge to raise at least £700, to allow at least ten women to receive breast scans. This was to be done with the supoort of the "Davy Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club" through the sale of a pin badge featuring Davy's famous Pink Helmet. The demand was way beyond what anyone had anticipated and at the end of the season they were able to present a cheque for £5000 to "Action Cancer", a further £2250 pounds to "Isle of Man Breastcare" and 150 Euro to a Charity in Southern Ireland.

Our thanks goes to all those who sold and more importantly bought the badge and not only supported Davy, but also this very important and life changing cause. There are some of the badges left, so we will be continuing to sell them in 2010 at £3 each with £1 per badge going to the "Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign".
