Four Limerick women take on Mizen Head to Malin Head cycle this August in aid of two worthwhile charities
Four women, four bikes, one epic journey. Meet Martina, Elaine, Kat, and Trish, the cycling-obsessed adventurers came up with a bold idea one morning over coffee and a spin to take on the demanding challenge of cycling from Mizen Head to Malin Head-a total of 575km.
Along the way in August, the team will be raising funds for two national charities.
The group hopes to complete the 575km journey “in five days and along our way, we will be raising funds for two well-deserving charities, close to our hearts”.

They said, “We have chosen to fundraise for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and Epilepsy Ireland. All funds raised here will go directly to both charities and will split evenly. I hope you can help us by donating whatever you can.”
The group have set an initial goal of €5,000 with donations open to August 31, 2025, and has so far raised €290 as they receive messages of support from people making donations.
Epilepsy Ireland (previously Brainwave – The Irish Epilepsy Association) was established in 1966 by a group of individuals concerned with improving the quality of life of people with epilepsy in Ireland.
Epilepsy Ireland is committed to working for, and to meeting the needs of everyone with epilepsy in Ireland and their families and carers. Over the 55 years since their inception, the charity has grown and expanded and now provides a range of services from its headquarters in Dublin and regional offices.
Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind is Ireland’s national charity dedicated to helping persons who are blind or vision impaired and families of children with autism to achieve improved mobility and independence.
The charity hopes for a future where persons who are blind, vision impaired and disabled achieve independence and dignity through our world-class dog and ancillary services.
