The 5th annual Glenamaddy Tractor Run takes place this weekend in aid of Roscommon based charity Join Our Boys Trust.
The charity raises awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disorder that took the life of 16-year-old Archie Naughton in July this year.
Archie's two younger brothers, George and Issac, also have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

There is currently no treatment or cure for DMD, and it is a life ending illness.
The Naughton family have been at the forefront of the drive to both raise awareness of the condition and support the search for a cure.
The Glenamaddy tractor run will take place today (sun) starting at 10am in the town.

Event organiser Declan Geraghty says there's been a huge buy in from the public.
