As in previous years, this year’s Awareness Tour coincides with Limerick’s Bike Week, the Awareness Tour highlights the club’s commitment not only to cycling but to making a difference in the lives of children who need it most.

C4SC is a Limerick based road cycling club with over 100 members, with a range of organised spins to suit varying levels of fitness from the beginner & leisure group through to the very experienced and long-distance cyclists. Our members attend sports and charity events throughout the midwest and further afield whether its in cycling, running, triathlon or adventure race – you will usually find the C4SC jersey there.

The club organises 2 fundraisers each year 100% of the funds raised going to the beneficiaries as all running costs are absorbed by jersey advertising and generous supporters of the club. As a result, this year our total of funds donated in five years comes to over 60,000 euro.

C4SC is known for its presence at sports events, triathlons, and adventure races across the Midwest and beyond. Whether it’s beginners or long-distance riders, the club provides opportunities for all cyclists to get involved — especially when it’s for a cause as worthwhile as this.

For those looking to cycle with purpose this weekend, the 2025 Cycle 4 Sick Children Awareness Tour offers a rewarding challenge and a chance to give back.
