Bloggsie

Good Afternoon Boardies,


This year our fund raising efforts are in aid of St. John’s cancer ward in Crumlin Children’s Hospital. On average, 160 new cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed in Ireland each year.Tragically, more than 20% of the unfortunate children afflicted will not bealive five years later. Below is a link which will give you a bit more informationon why we are fundraising to help St. John’s Ward.

Best of luck with the cycle - it's a great cause. I'm away on scout camp that weekend so can't join you but once the Galway cycle is over I'll join you for some training at the weekends.
