On Wednesday 30th May am setting out with 72 other cyclists from Kilmacud Crokes – raising money for Breast Cancer Ireland. We take a bus from the Club in Dublin to Malin Head
Malin HEad, Co. Donegal
– one of the most northerly points of County Donegal. And we will cycle – over 5 days – from there to Mizen Head – one of the most southerly points in Co. Cork.
For some of the cyclists this is their fourth time doing the cycle – for me – my second time.
The funds raised are split 50/50 between Breast Cancer Ireland and the Development fund within Kilmacud Crokes. Last time out we raised just over €100k – but this time we would like to break €150k.
Big operation – transporting 73 bikes, backup team of 4 minibuses, 4 motorcyclists – 12 backup people in total. Accomodation in 5 different locations, breakfasts, lunches and dinners – with the odd coffee stop.
But breast cancer is a curse – and we are doing something to assist in fighting this disease. And we all know people close to us who have been impacted – or are being impacted – by breast cancer.
And what a feeling 2 years ago when we got to Malin Head (having started then at Mizen). the whole team lined out on the road to welcome home the last of our cyclists.
For inspiration this year just need to look at this: M2M 2016 with Kilmacud Crokes.
Looking forward to getting underway.
Remembering the start two years ago.
