Delma Cavanagh Limerick to Leitrim cycle cancelled

Organisers of the Delma Cavanagh Limerick to Leitrim Cycle have cancelled this year's event.

The decision was taken in keeping with the HSE Covid-19 guidelines.

The cycle began in 2013 when John Cavanagh first cycled to Limerick from Leitrim to raise money for a Limerick hospice in memory of his mother, Delma.

He and six others decided to cycle from Dromahair, to Limerick, where he is originally from, raising €3,800 in the process.

Since then, the event has gone from strength to strength each year.
Over the last six years the cycle has raised €126,200 for SHOUT - the Sligo University Hospital Oncology Unit Trust.
Unfortunately due to current restrictions charities like SHOUT suffer.

However, the current government restrictions mean the event can't go ahead on the roads.

Organisers are planning to stage a virtual cycle in the coming months with a fundraising page to help raise much needed funds for this worthwhile charity. Details will be announced at a later date.

The provisional dates for the 2021 Delma Cavanagh Limerick to Leitrim Cycle have been announced.

They are August 13th & 14th, 2021.
