Kilcullen man in 600km cycle for two charities
A Kilcullen man is taking part in a 600km cycle run in France and Spain next month to help raise funds for two Irish charities, writes Brian Byrne.
Dermot Cagney, who lives in Castlemartin Lodge, is part of the Tour de Force, an organisation comprising members of An Garda Siochana who cycle each year to raise charity funds.
This year's charities are The Little Blue Heroes Foundation and St Francis Hospice Dublin.
The group will travel to France on 22 May and cycle over five days from La Rochelle to San Sebastian in Spain.
Dermot was formerly stationed in Newbridge but is now based in Dublin. He is married to Wendy and two sons attend Scoil Bhride. Dermot also helps coach the U10 boys with Kilcullen GAA.
The Tour de Force was established in 1997 and to date has raised more than €1 million for charities. It is Dermot's fourth year of involvement. Those wishing to support him can do so on this GoFundMe page.
