Fifty cycling women sought

LADIES from across Inishowen are being sought to
take part in a special sponsored cycle on October 18
to raise funds for the Buncrana Nursing Unit Garden
Fund.
The unique event hopes to see 50 women take to the
bicycles on a sponsored run towards Fahan, Burnfoot
and on to Bridgend before returning to the Nursing
Unit in Buncrana.
Speaking to the Inishowen Independent this week one
of the organisers, Georgina Dixon, said the cycle
would be a fun event and was not just for people
with cycling experience. |
“We need people to
realise that this is a fun day and people don’t need
to worry if they don’t have much cycling experience.
The cycle will not be carried out at a great pace
and they don’t need a specialist bike or anything
like that.”
Instead said Georgina ladies taking part just need
any bicycle in a road worth condition, but said that
a helmet is a must. |

“The aim is really to
get more women on their bikes and at the same time
raise some money for a very worth cause.”
The cycle gets under way at 10am and registration
will take place beforehand at 9am costing €10 for
adults and €5 for children. All children must be
accompanied by an adult.
Those who would like to help raise some more money
for this worthy cause can also take a sponsorship
card which are available from Georgina Dixon on
086-3273619, Margaret Dixon 087 1405306, Grainne
Gillen on 074 9374125 or from Phelim McCallion,
bikes and toys.
“There will be lots of spot prizes and refreshments
after the cycle and we’re hoping as many ladies as
possible from all over Inishowen will come out and
enjoy the day,” Georgina said. |
