Paris 2024 Olympic hopeful Lara Gillespie is encouraging cyclists of all abilities to take on the Barretstown Cycle Challenge.
Taking place from Friday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 25th travelling from Cork City to Barretstown Campus in Kildare, with 1,2- and 3-day options, it’s a great opportunity to challenge yourself while also supporting children living with serious illness.
Wicklow native Gillespie, who represents Ireland in international track cycling, said “I am delighted to support the Barretstown Cycle Challenge, it’s a great opportunity for cyclists to hit the roads together for such a great cause.”
Barretstown is the largest provider of therapeutic programmes in Ireland for children affected by serious illness.
To date, it has helped over 85,000 children and family members to rebuild the confidence that a serious illness can take away. To learn more about the Barretstown Cycle Challenge go to www.barretstown.org.
