Donegal cleric on his bike again – from Malin to Mizen

Last summer Canon David Crooks of Taughboyne Parish in Raphoe Diocese took part in two sponsored cycle rides. 

This year he hopes to cycle from Malin Head in County Donegal to Mizen Head in County Cork in aid of the Donegal Hospice.

Last summer’s efforts were in aid of Trinity Court in Newtowncunningham, and St Johnston Social Services.

This gave him and two others with them, the idea of doing a sponsored cycle the whole length of Ireland.

The proceeds will be donated to the Donegal Hospice and there will be no overhead expenses.

The trio depart from Malin Head on Monday morning, Fourth of July, at 10 AM and as David says, “Hopefully we will arrive at Mizen”.

There are no overheads and no doubt contributions would be greatly received.
