John Donnelly fundraising for Cycle Against Suicide in N2- End to End Portugal Challenge 2026

🚴‍♂️ I’m taking on my toughest challenge yet — N2: End to End Portugal Challenge 2026, and it’s for a cause that really matters ❤️ This May, I’ll be taking on the biggest physical and mental challenge of my life — cycling the entire N2 route across Portugal, from Chaves in the north to Faro in the south. That’s 738km in 6 days, through mountains, valleys, and endless open road. Route Details: - Day 1- Monday, May 25th - Chaves to Lamego; 100km/1817m - Day 2-Tuesday, May 26th – Lamego to Aguieira; 126km/2044m - Day 3-Wednesday, May 27th – Aguieira to Pedrogao; 96km/2105m - Day 4-Thursday, May 28th – Padrogao to Montargal; 130km/1679m - Day 5-Friday, May 29th – Montargal to Vila Gale, Alentejo; 163km/1070m - Day 6- Saturday, May 30th – Vila Gale Alentejo to Faro; 147km/1537m. I’m doing this to raise funds for Cycle Against Suicide, a charity that works tirelessly to break the stigma around mental health and support suicide prevention across Ireland. My goal is to raise €2,300, and every euro makes a real difference. If you can, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support — whether through a donation or simply by sharing my page. This will be a true test of endurance, but knowing it’s helping others makes every kilometre worthwhile. Thanks so much it really means a lot. 🚴🏼 💨 JD

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.
