  Hi I am writing to you on behalf of a new non profit organization called ‘Cairde-Friends Matter’ which is officially launching in Dingle Co. Kerry on the weekend of March 31-2 April 2017. We have a whole range of events arranged for the weekend including Slea Head Cycle, Brandon Climb, Rugby, Soccer and Gaa and golf tournaments.

  One of the key events will be the Slea Head Cycle with leading members of Cycle Against Suicide & Dingle Cycling Club (Cian Higgins) involved, and with the aim of a high number of participant cyclists from all over the country.

  We have a number of key goals and objectives but our initial goal is to raise funds to purchase and refurbish The Cáirde centre which will contain counseling rooms and onsite accommodation. It is from here we will build up our network of like minded people. Our mission statement is as follows:

  ‘Cáirde – Friends Matter’ will act as an embedded peer to peer support network within our communities, not only for the vulnerable suffering with mental health issues, but as a network that will allow their friends and loved ones to guide the one they worry about towards appropriate care and support they require’

  As mentioned we are planning to receive a large number of participant cyclists from all over the country and we are examining different logistical centres for cyclists for bicycle repair and equipment requirements.

  I would greatly appreciate if you can contact the various cycle teams and clubs in the Kildare, and for them to contact me in relation to part taking in the cycle race.

  I leave you my number below for contact at your convenience , with our Facebook details and full itinerary.

  Yours Sincerely.
