Story

Hi All, Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iDonate.ie

My name is Noel Shannon and I am planning to cycle the Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) in May and June 2022. I have been cycling now for more than 20 years and I am a member of the Challenge Cycling Club in Galway, the WAW cycle is however a solo cycle. The distance of the WAW is approximately 2800 Km. I plan to do it in 20 to 25 days, plus a break halfway through the journey. I am doing the cycle to raise funds for two charities; Jigsaw, The National Centre for Youth Mental Health (jigsaw.ie) and Clare Crusaders who provide free therapy and specialist treatment to over 450 children with special needs in County Clare (clarecrusaders.ie). The funds collected will be split 60/40. I am asking everyone to dig deep into their pockets and sponsor these two very worthy causes. I am setting up this 'idonate' page online to do this. I am really looking forward to this new challenge in my life, looking forward to hearing from you all.

Thanking you in advance,
Noel (Shannon)
