<h3>The family of a tragic Castlemaine teenager who died in a quad-bike accident, handed over funds raised during a car run in his memory.</h3>
Ryan Nagle would have celebrated his 16th birthday on August 8.
His parents Irene and Brian, their family and a group of Ryan&rsquo;s friends, organised a car, truck, motorcycle and tractor run in his memory.
Nearly one thousand vehicles took part in the run between Milltown, Tralee and St Carthages&rsquo; Church in Killtallagh, were Ryan is laid to rest.
Between them they raised a staggering &euro;26,719.28 and they donated the money to counselling service Pieta after the Tralee-based charity helped Irene cope with the death of her son.
On Tuesday night the family handed over a cheque to Pieta&rsquo;s Funding and Advocacy Coordinator for the South West, Con O&#8217;Connor.
&ldquo;It was a phenomenal amount of money to raise and we are just so grateful to the Nagle family, it was one of the biggest motor runs to ever happen in Mid Kerry,&rdquo; he said.
