Get on your High Nelly for Hospice

Get on your High Nelly for Hospice

Willie Creighton and the High Nelly Cycle Revivers are to run a charity cycle in aid of Sunflower Children’s Hospice.

Cyclists young and old are being invited to take part in a High Nelly charity cycle in support of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation’s Sunflower Children’s Hospice.

The leisurely jaunt will take place on Saturday, April 25 beginning at 11am from the church in Westport, travelling along the scenic Greenway to Nevin’s in Newport.

Connect with a big part of Irish history and raise funds for a special cause by hopping on your own High Nelly, or one supplied by the organising group as High Nelly bicycles and outfits can be supplied for those who do not have one.

Participants are encouraged to gather sponsorship, either online at www.idonate.ie or with sponsorship cards that will be made available.

Organisers promise plenty of craic along the way and are welcoming cyclists of all ages and abilities to get involved while supporting an important cause.

The return cycle to Westport is optional, and transport will be available for participants who prefer not to make the journey back on two wheels.

The event is being organised by Martin and Willie, the High Nelly Cycle Revivers, who can be contacted for further information at 087-2589974.

Willie Creighton from the High Nelly Cycle Revivers said the event is about community spirit as much as it is fundraising.

“We want this to be a really enjoyable day out for everyone – a relaxed cycle along the Greenway with plenty of laughs and great company. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just dusting off the saddle for the first time, we’d love to see you there supporting the Sunflower Children’s Hospice.”
