The annual Sligo to Letterkenny charity cycle in aid of Cancer research take place this year on Sunday 6th July 2008. Organised by Mr Paddy Delap of Clarkes News agents in Letterkenny this event is getting bigger and better every year.
Although this is not a Four Masters organised event this event has done more for cycling in the North West of Ireland than any club could every dream, most notably introducing young people such as Philip Deignam into this sport.
For the past number of years Mr Paddy Delap and his many friends in Letterkenny have organised a most successful cycling event in Donegal. In the region of over 100 cyclists take part each year and to date over €300,000 has been raised for Cancer Research. The cycle is from Sligo to Letterkenny, approximately 75 miles. Cyclists will be transported to Sligo and the cycle is from Sligo to Letterkenny. Each participant will be presented with a t-shirt, and certificates will be presented at the finish line. Each participant will then be entered in a draw for 3 travel vouchers worth €150 each. Please join with us again this year and if you have any friends or colleagues who may be interested, ask them to join in too.
