‘Cycle Against Suicide’
Well done to all in Bailieborough who welcomed with open arms the 300 plus cyclists in this year’s Cycle Against Suicide on Thursday last. To the businesses and communities who came together and went ORANGE in support of this worthy cause- WELL DONE. An uplifting event and we all came together to make it a memorable one. Congratulations to all the cyclists, the officials and their support units and most importantly our local school who made it all possible – Bailieborough Community School and also to the many, many people who lined Main St and gave such great encouragement to the cyclists. Your support was very much appreciated.
Also well done to the members of the Higgins family from Grousehall who completed the Castlebar to Galway stage of the cycle on Sunday last.
