Mizen to Malin Head charity cycle in May
Last month, we reported that Elaine Houlihan, Macra na Feirme Munster vice-president, has called on everyone to support their charity cycle from Mizen to Malin Head this May.
The five-day, 670km run, is in aid of the Irish Cancer Society, Make a Moove and Embrace FARM.
Houlihan, Macra Munster vice president, said: “Cancer and mental health are issues that impact every farm family across Ireland.”
“It is vital to support each other and raise awareness. My life, like so many others, was personally affected by cancer as my grandmother passed away after a long battle with the disease.”
“Furthermore, many members contact me with concerns on a daily basis. We need to break the taboo and stigma around talking about mental health and treat it as a serious challenge for rural communities.“
