Eoin's daughter suffers from a rare form of leukaemia and was very grateful to the Round Towers for their donation to his fundraising event. Eoin has set himself a goal of raising money for Leukaemia research through a sponsored cycle from Lands End to South Wales where he will then board a ferry to County Wicklow and cycle from there to Belfast. From here he will then board a second ferry and travel to Stranraer and cycle along the West coast of Scotland up through the Trussocks and finish at John O' Groats. The total distance travelled will be 1100 miles in 11 days.
The Round Towers Club would like to wish Eoin every success in his fundraising campaign and all our support for such a good cause.
