Coming Together for Declan – Upcoming Fundraising Events in aid of the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust
We are continuing to prepare for all of the upcoming events in aid of the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust and are overwhelmed by the incredible support, encouragement, and generosity we have already received from stockists, colleagues, friends, family, and the wider community. We are extremely grateful for every donation and are delighted with the funds raised so far in Declan’s memory. The support has meant so much to everyone involved and continues to motivate us as we get ready for the weekend ahead.
The Ring of Beara Cycle – Saturday 23rd May 🚴♀️🚴♂️
Our fittest employees, Dave and Gráinne, are taking on the legendary full Ring of Beara this year — with Dave tackling the gruelling 140km route and Gráinne conquering the 110km course.
The Ring of Beara Cycle is one of Ireland’s most popular and scenic cycling events, guiding riders through the demanding hills and dramatic coastal roads of Kerry and West Cork. With steep climbs, long distances, and breathtaking views at every turn, it promises to be a true test of endurance, determination, and stamina.
