50 Years of Dedication

400 MILES ON 2 WHEELS FOR THE MARIE CURIE NURSING SERVICE

Brothers Philip and Robert Loughlin and Erwin Haslett are cycling from Mizen Head, the souhern most point in Ireland, to Malin Head, the country's most northern point. Their mission is to raise much needed funds for the Marie Curie Nursing Service. The boys will begin their 415 mile trek on Wednesday 13 August and plan to complete it 3 days later.

Marie Curie Cancer Care makes a real difference to people's lives.  The Marie Curie Nurses are available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year - they spend a full eight hour shift with each patient in the comfort and privacy of their own home usually overnight. This service is completely free to the patient and their family.

The event is being organised by David Clydesdale who will accompany the cyclists on their journey. The boys are trying to raise as much  money as possible through sponsorship so please help them by telephoning 07866459986 or e-mail info@mizen-malin.org or visit the web site www.mizen-malin.org.
