Get on your bike for mental health and suicide awareness

8 Jun , 2020  

The Mental Health and Suicide Awareness Cycle in aid of Suicide or Survive (SOS), takes place each year in Lemybrien, County Waterford. The fundraiser is now in its sixth year and has raised €44,000 since 2015. This year’s cycle was due to take place on Easter Sunday April 12th but unfortunately had to be postponed due to the coronavirus restrictions. This year’s cycle will now take place online from June 8th to June 21st.

This online cycle is called “Cycle for SOS” and sets the challenge to take on a 20km cycle from your home to help raise awareness for mental health and vital funds for SOS. All funds raised will go to SOS to enable them to facilitate free mental health workshops.

Now more than ever during these difficult times people are struggling with their mental health and need the services that SOS provide. We need your help to raise these vital funds to ensure SOS can continue to provide much needed services.

HOW TO TAKE PART:

  1. Donate via our GoFundMe Page “Cycle for SOS”
  2. Cycle 20km from your own home
  3. Nominate three people to take part on Social Media using the hashtag #CYCLEFORSOS
    All updates will be posted on our Facebook Page “Mental Health and Suicide Awareness 50k Cycle” and our Instagram Page @cycleforsos. Make sure to stay connected with us on Social Media and use the hashtag #CYCLEFORSOS on all your posts.
