I'm delighted to get the opportunity to take on the N2 challenge for the third year in a row with cycle against suicide in Portugal next week! After the loss of my brother & best friend Mohamed, who died unexpectedly from cancer, finding myself grieving alone while trying to settle into college all while being away from family and friends, caused a constant battle with poor mental health. A battle that lasted throughout and after college. One of the things I took solace in was cycling, what started as a way to commute to work ended up giving me a getaway to clear my mind, relieve stress and gave me the consistency I needed to get better. Therefore, I am excited to be fundraising for a charity that helps others make the journey I made. Donations would be greatly appreciated, and would help CAS to continue with providing their priceless services.

About Cycle Against Suicide

Cycle Against Suicide is an awareness charity (CHY 20687) that makes a valuable contribution to the public education of mental health by changing the narrative surrounding suicide. When an individual is vulnerable enough to consider taking their own life, silence is read as indifference. With hundreds of people dying by suicide in Ireland each year and research indicating that thousands more contemplate it, we all have a role to play to collectively address the challenges that suicide presents. In a bid to save more lives, Cycle Against Suicide through its programmes, sets out to change culture and create a society that openly talks about suicide to allow people to speak up and seek help.
