Dave Hughes is a former Deputy General Secretary of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO). He previously worked for IMPACT and CPSU (both now Fórsa) and SIPTU, and was a member for some years of the Executive Council of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. He is a well-known and popular figure in the trade union movement, and continues to serve the interests of workers in his capacity as a Board member of the Health & Safety Authority. He has also been living with Motor Neurone Disease for the last number of years.

He has generously agreed to lend his name to this fundraising effort to support the fantastic work of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

A number of friends and colleagues from the trade union movement have come together to organise a cycle event on September 28th. Starting from the offices of the INMO, those taking part will do a loop of 100k into Co. Meath and back, taking a route through Clonsilla where Dave has been a major contributor to his beloved local community, not least through his work with 92.5 Phoenix FM, a community radio station that provides a voice for Dublin 15.

This is not a race, and whether someone wants to do all or only some of the route, the idea is that everyone will more or less finish together. If you’d like to take part, please send your details to Linda Casey at lcasey@forsa.ie, before end of business on Monday 23rd September. Let her know whether you'd like to do 5k, 10k, or the whole route.

But the most important point is that you don’t need to participate in the cycling at all to support the fundraising effort. Simply donate what you can, as an individual or an organisation, by clicking the Donate button above. All donations are processed securely.

All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause.

We encourage you to please share this page on your favourite social media sites, personal and organisational, by using the Share options under the Donate button. This is a great way to promote the fundraising.

Many Thanks for your support.
