His tragic death inspired his parents Donna and Stephen Green to raise awareness of asthma and support local charities.

This year the event will support Air Ambulance Northern Ireland and Little Heroes, with donations welcomed both on the day and via an online GoFundMe.

Taking place at Emerson Sand Quay on Saturday, 25th April, the gates open at 12pm, with the truck run beginning at 2pm. The day promises an impressive display of trucks along with a strong community turnout.
