We have just passed the four figure mark on our Justgiving page and we still have a week to go before the real fun starts.
It is a good time, therefore, to remind everyone what we are cycling for. We are cycling because we enjoy cycling and it will be good craic travelling from East to West across the breadth of Ireland under our own steam. None of us are getting any younger (the age range of cyclists is 46 to 61) and we are very lucky that we are able to step up to the challenge - I hope this proves to be true. So, if we can raise some funds for the Hospice at the same time, everybody wins.
Caring for terminally ill young people is never easy and the Children's Hospice do their wonderful work without any government funding. That means that your help helps them to keep providing their caring service. Remember that you are not sponsoring any of us as individuals but you are helping unfortunate young people to be more comfortable in the relatively short lives they have been allowed.
I make no apologies for the stark picture that this paints. We all know that, too often, reality is bleak and lives are unfair. Take time to consider this and visit www.justgiving.com/dublin2dingle to make a life more bearable.
Thank you.
