Cycle Against Suicide

Well done to all the students and teachers who cycled on Friday last in appalling weather conditions to raise awareness about suicide in Ireland. They joined the cycle in Clonmel and set out for Portlaoise at 10.30am in cold , wet and windy conditions. After a brief stop in Cashel for some food and water , they set off again into the worsening elements for Thurles. The 45k was slow moving and students and adults alike were struggling with the severe weather.
Arriving in Thurles to a huge welcome, much needed shelter and warmth, as well as hot food was available. It didn't take long before rumours spread that the remainder of the days cycle was to be cancelled. What a relief all round. But still a great event and one that serves a great purpose.
