On Valentine's Day last year, the inaugural Saddle Up for Epilepsy cycle took place in Castlebar. Supporting Epilepsy Ireland, the event was a huge success attracting cyclists from all over Ireland who registered to participate in the first national cycle for Epilepsy Ireland. Feedback from participants was extremely encouraging and the organisers now plan to make Saddle up for Epilepsy 2016 even bigger. Its success was thanks to sponsorship, local fundraising, community volunteering, and the support of celebrities such as Joe Schmidt, Rick O’Shea, Sean Kelly and Taoiseach Enda Kenny who opened the event. The organisers are delighted that these patrons have renewed their support in 2016.

Irish cycling hero Sean Kelly was on hand this week to launch the Saddle Up for Epilepsy Cycle in Breaffy House. The charity cycle will take place on Saturday February 14 departing from the Breaffy Sports Arena and it offers three different lengths of cycle routes — 40km, 80km, and 120km.
