The beneficiary for the event is Down Syndrome Limerick, a charity which supports children and adults with Down syndrome throughout their lives through a range of services and social activities like Speech and Language Therapy, adult education courses, employment support programmes and many fun social activities too including cycling lessons.
Michelle Coughlan, Chairperson of Down Syndrome Limerick said, “The Sean Kelly Three Counties Cycle is an amazing event in the cycling calendar but it is also an important fundraiser for us. Last year over €110,000 was raised through this event which has a hugely positive impact on the children and adults availing of services and supports at the charity. We are so grateful to the wonderful committee of volunteers involved in helping us to organise this event.
“We are hoping that people come out again and get on their bikes for us. Thank you to everyone for their support – the organisers, sponsors, volunteers and participants and not forgetting Sean Kelly himself!”
The event has attracted participants from around Ireland and internationally in previous years. It is fast becoming a cycling event not to be missed! So sign up and get on your bikes for a great cause.
