HMV Charity Cycle raises over €20,000 for Irish Guide Dogs for the blind

H&MV’s inaugural charity cycle was a resounding success for the company with all money raised going directly to the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. The total sum of money raised by the event which was held in July, departing from the Horse and Jockey in Thurles was an astounding €20,059. A huge number took part and the event exceeded all expectations. 

PJ Flanagan spoke of his huge appreciation for the input of the local community, particularly those in Moycarkey GAA Club who contributed generously and also took to their bikes and cycled on the day.  The company cycling Club, H&MV Crusaders and H&MV Engineering are extremely grateful for all those who helped to make the event such a huge success; particularly the event organising committee, the safety team, all employee volunteers, and the numerous cyclists who all returned home safely on the day.
