The Cannonball Ireland supercar event has raised €305,969 for the Jack & Jill Foundation. The event took place around Ireland from September 6th to 8th this year to the delight of over 250,000 spectators who gathered in their thousands all over the country to witness the world’s most prestigious and sought-after supercars up close. Families, including lots of Jack and Jill families also enjoyed the music and fanfare, giant screens, live DJs, bands and festivals in host towns throughout the route. 200 magnificent supercars, helicopters, celebrities and very colourful Cannonballers in costume all converged on a sunny weekend for another adrenalin fuelled supercar spectacle. But at the heart of this event is philanthropy and raising much needed funds for the vital service provided by Jack and Jill. Deirdre Walsh, CEO of Jack and Jill said: "We are blown away by the funds raised this year through our partnership with Cannonball and Circle K, which translates to 17,111 hours of in-home nursing and respite care for 421 families currently supported by Jack and Jill in communities across the country. Great to see the Cannonball community get behind the fundraising effort, including the teams at Apache Pizza who raised €25k, Autoclass who raised €14k and our MC, Podcaster Alan Clarke whose donation drive raised €13k in 24hours! It was fantastic to meet so many of our families along the route, who came out to enjoy the spectacle, and we hugely appreciate all the time, effort, creativity and energy from the Cannonball community that ensured Cannonball 2024 was such a resounding success".

As temperatures drop, drivers are being advised to keep their key fobs in a warm place when not in use to decrease the chances of battery failure. Colder temperatures can cause a chemical reaction in the battery components which result in them powering down (by anywhere between 20-30%). According to Google, searches for "Why is my key fob not working?" have increased 100% over the last few months.
