A touching tribute has been paid by Armoy Road Races to Dr. John Hinds, the Flying Doctor, who sadly lost his life several weeks ago at the Skerries 100 where he was providing medical cover.

Dr. John’s passion was to see an Air Ambulance for Northern Ireland and the huge poster in the village urges everyone to get behind the campaign to realise Dr. John’s wishes and sign the petition which can be found at: https://www.change.org/p/the-northern-ireland-assembly-lets-push-ahead-with-dr-john-hinds-campaign-to-get-an-air-ambulance-off-the-ground-for-northern-ireland-let-s-make-this-a-lasting-tribute-for-an-exceptional-man-hems4ni
