Journey: Dunderrow GAA Pitch -> Kinsale GAA PitchDistance: 3.26M / 5.25KM
Total Distance: 54.97M / 88.47KM
A challenging but rewarding cycle today as Harry was accompanied by Chloe, Thomas & Roisin O’ Leary in cycling pitch-to-pitch, from Dunderrow to Kinsale. Kinsale GAA has been a huge part of our lives, so it was only fitting to do a cycle between both of Kinsale’s GAA pitches.
A lap of the field under a drone ensured the kids were happy out leaving Dunderrow as they made their way to the GAA field in Kinsale via Ballinacurra. The kids arrived to a rapturous welcome at Kinsale GAA, with the kids providing a guard of honour for Harry & Thomas as they did a lap of Kinsale GAA field before finishing up at the nearby clubhouse.
The club and in particular the kids went over and above the call of duty today and we thank them sincerely for the lovely reception they laid out for Harry. Harry was presented with a hurley & football from chairman Laurence Murphy before he set off with Dad to watch Kinsale in their intermediate championship game shortly after.
Our sincere thanks to Thomas & Roisin O’ Leary for accompanying Harry & Chloe on today’s trip. We also wish to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to Laurence & Catherine Murphy, Sean & Emma O’ Callaghan and to the wider Kinsale GAA family, not just for making today so special for Harry but for their continued help and support across the campaign to date. Harry was thrilled with the welcome and the lovely gifts both he and Chloe received from the club today.
Tomorrow is Day 21 and it sees Harry cycle out around the Old Head of Kinsale, where he will no doubt have the brave the elements. Harry has 13 more trips left and with a glimmer of the finish line now in sight, hopes to see you all in Kinsale on Saturday August 8th to cheer Harry over the finish line. In that period however, there are still a few more trips planned, where Harry hopes to continue to raise as much awareness for the campaign and thanks you all sincerely for your continued support and generosity.
