Dedicated cyclists take on Daisy 200 challenge for children with cancer
This June, a team of 50 cyclists will be taking on the challenge of a lifetime so we can continue to provide vital support to children, young people and families impacted by cancer.
From 26th – 28th June, this group led by Eddie Marcus, Dougie Adams and Sean McCabe will cycle over 200 miles. Starting from the site of the our second therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge on the shores of Lough Corrib in Cong, Co. Mayo, the cyclists will then travel through Cavan, before arriving in Newcastle, the home of our first Daisy Lodge which was opened in 2014.
This challenge is being sponsored by PizzaCrew and all participants have committed to raising £5,000 each to ensure we can be there for families when they need us most.
“This is the second year we will be tackling the Daisy 200 and I’m honoured to be taking to the roads once again, this time, with an even bigger team behind us. The impact of this fundraising on the lives of children and young people impacted by cancer is truly special and I want to say thank you to everyone who is bringing this challenge to life and everyone who is supporting, including our main sponsors Pizza Crew.”
Eddie Marcus, Challenge Organiser and Community Champion
“We are so incredibly grateful to the Daisy 200 team for taking on this mammoth challenge in aid of children and young people impacted by cancer. Every week across the island of Ireland, approximately 10 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer. The money raised through this team’s efforts will help us ensure these children and their families don’t have to face this experience alone.”
