The Duffy's Cycle Ireland
Donation protected
Hi Guys,
So after a few drinks myself (Ger) and my cousin (Eoin) were discussing a few physical challenges. Eoin,with his history of personal training and generally being a beast, claimed he would be able to do the cycle that me and our other brother (Sean) had done for our parents charity a few years back with ease. (Sean and I cycled from Dublin to Galway chasing our Dad down who was walking to Galway and had a 2 day head start. It was 240kms)
I begged to differ so as the conversation went on the challenge went up and up and we finally settled on cycling ALL of Ireland (1400kms). And with a family history of a long line of men with bad backs this really will be a challenge. Possibly one that will be the end of us.
The challenge is to cycle the length and breadth of ireland in 15 Days.
We will spend the next few months raising money for this challenge with all proceeds going to...
ST FRANCIS HOSPICE RAHENY - http://www.sfh.ie/
PIETA HOUSE - http://www.pieta.ie/
We have personally witnessed the amazing work of the people in St Francis Hospice and this money will go a long way to help them continue their work. We have also seen the incredible work Pieta House do for families affected by suicide in Ireland. A subject that is a huge issue in our country and that Pieta House have done amazing work on preventing, as well as dealing with the after affects to suffering families.
We will invite people to use the "Find my friends" app on their IPhones to keep track of our progress.
Please help us achieve this goal and donate anything you can to the causes.
Thanks a million.
