This year’s charity cycle saw over 120 amateur cyclists travel over 600km through the six counties of Munster from August 9th – 12th, supported by friends, family and the many volunteers who fundraised along the route. The route took in a stop in Tralee and there was great fun day laid on at Manor West Retail Park to welcome them.
The funds raised for the Munster branches off DSI will be shared among their six branches to fund services for people with Down Syndrome. Scroll down for photos…
