Cycle from Westmeath to Croagh Patrick

On Saturday morning last six cyclists set out from Ballymore at 8am and completed the 170km journey to Croagh Patrick at 4pm, a challenge they undertook in support of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Society, and ‘Climb with Charlie’.

The cycle was backed by Mullingar Lions Club, and club member, Frank Dillon, said: “Mullingar Lions Club wish to support the many people who are living with this devastating illness.”

Frank said that everybody finished the cycle in good spirits and some even had enough energy to attempt the climb afterwards!
