Hi all,

I'm joining the lads in Ashbourne and District Lions Club to raise money for some of the local charities who do great work for the local community and surrounding areas of Ashbourne and Meath.

The chosen charities are Meath Hospice Homecare Movement Ltd, Meath Women's Refuge & Support Services, and St Francis Hospice.

To mark the occasion we are embarking on a "Coast2Coast" cycling challenge in which we'll be cycling from Oranmore in Co. Galway to Laytown in Co Meath.

This is not a race by any means, but it is a great way to challenge ourselves on a personal and collective level whilst raising money for good local charities who do great work in the local community.

I hope you can help by donating whatever you can. All funds will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks for the support.
