Folks, sorry for not been back in touch before now, as I have been trying to get the trip together.
At this stage, I am going to be joined by my cousin, who will be an incredible help with the driving as we intend to cover 5000 miles in 16 days!
We have secured a vehicle from Rocwell Water. It's a 7.5 tonne Daf curtainsider, and he is throwing in plenty of water which is badly needed in Gaza.
We have a couple of other sponsors lined up, and by tomorrow we will have their details to report.
Home Furnishing Solutions in the Oaks Centre Dungannon have sourced us blankets, and we will have the details on that tomorrow as well.
We will try and have details of collection points for clothes by tomorrow evening/Friday, where people can donate clothes or buy a blanket for the people of Gaza.
Remember, there are 60,000 people homeless and everthing we bring will be well appreciated.
Also, by tomorrow we should have details where people can make donations to.
Already there are 90 vehicles in the convoy, including a Fire Engine, 6 Ambulances, and a boat for the fishermen in Gaza!!
Thanks again for the massive support, and please continue to help us whatever way you can. Pass on the information to all your friends, and for everyone on Facebook, please join the group "Tyrone To Gaza"

Eair play to you ghd. I will get a run up to the Oaks early next week.

Never mind just Tyrone to Gaza, this should start the wheels in motion for a GAA to Gaza movement supported by HQ, county boards and the GPA. 

Every county could and should do like-wise.

You obviously get to watch Unionist TV regularly Donagh  ;)

You obviously dont read whats posted. UTV LIFE is on 5.30 to 6.00

Folks,  sorry for the delay, but this evenings UTV Life has been cancelled.
Instead, they are sending out a TV crew tomorrow to interview us at the Oaks Centre, Dungannon.
This will be so much better, as it will show the lorry, and people donating. Tyrones favourie fan, Datsun Donaghy will hopefully be making an appearence, and maybe Malachi Cush.
I have been busy all day sorting stuff out, and have got a few sponsor stickers to go on, including 2 GAABOARD.COM stickers, for all the support you all have been giving.
Have a great logo going on, complete with the Tyrone and Palestinean flags..........
I will be back on later with more details.

Folks, just back with lorry and have a few photo's. They are a bit dark, however you will get the picture!!!! Will have more tomorrow from the Oaks Centre.
Plus, Sainsburys have come on board and will have 6 staff collecting money all day tomorrow. So a big thank you to Sainsburys.
O' Neill's Strabane has donated 500 various jerseys and Liam Og Gormley from Sligo Co. Board has donated 150 childrens playing kits. So a big thank you to both of them.
Can someone let me know how to upload photo's, or if someone pm's me an e mail address, i'll send them to them to up load.

Thanks
