Mizen to Malin Charity Cycle - June 2015
Fundraising for Northern Ireland Hospice
Story
On the 18th - 21st June 2015 9 cyclists will be taking on the challenge that is 'Mizen Head to Malin Head' in 4 days. The team consists of 9 guys:
Alan Blaney, Paul Bonar, Nick Bonar, Gary Carpenter, Marty Colvin, Mark Grain, Gary McCloskey, David McKelvey and Michael McRoberts.
We will be taking on the challenge over just 4 days covering 420 miles with 21,846 feet of climbing. The route for the 4 days is as follows:
Day 1 - Mizen Head to Killarney through the Killarney NationalPark, 76 miles, 5,063 feet of climbing.
Day 2 - Killarney to Salthill, 126 miles, 6,239 feet of climbing.
Day 3 - Salthill to Rossnowlagh, 129 miles, 5,612 feet of climbing.Day 4 - Rossnowlagh to Malin Head, 89 miles, 4,932 feet of climbing.
This year marks the 20 year anniversary of Paul & Nick Bonar's father Ken passing away due to cancer. To mark the occasion we have decided to raise money for charity and for the Northern Ireland Hospice in Ken's memory to thank the NI Hospice for looking after him during his illness and for the great work they do. We are also lucky to have the services of Ken's two brothers Des & Ced Bonar who will be our support team during the event and our thanks go to them for all their help.
We would be grateful if you could find the time to make a donation even if only a small amount to this very worthwhile cause. It is amazing the work that the NI Hospice does for their patients & families.
We would like to point out that we are paying our own accommodation and travelling expenses associated with the trip and every pound raised is going directly to the Northern Ireland Hospice.
Thank you for your support,
Alan, Paul, Nick, Gary, Marty, Mark, Gary, David and Michael.
