Get on your High Nelly for charity cycle along Mayo Greenway

Cyclists young and old are being invited to take part in a High Nelly Charity Cycle along the Great Western Greenway in support of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation’s Sunflower Children’s Hospice. 

The leisurely charity cycle will begin on April 25 at 11am from Westport, travelling along the scenic Great Western Greenway to Nevins in Newport. 

The event is being organised by Ballina native Willie Creighton and Ballinrobe’s Martin Donnell, the High Nelly Cycle Revivers, who are encouraging as many people as possible to take part in what promises to be a memorable and fun-filled day. They added the event is about community spirit  as much as 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,” they said. 

All funds raised will go towards supporting the Sunflower Children’s Hospice, which will provide specialist palliative and respite care for children and young people with life-limiting illnesses, as well as essential emotional, practical and bereavement support for their families, across eight counties in the West of Ireland. 

Martin and Willie promise a relaxed High Nelly leisure cycle with plenty of craic along the way, welcoming cyclists of all ages and abilities to get involved while supporting an important cause. 

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

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. 

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