Cycling star asks public to save children’s lives

IRISH cycling legend Seán Kelly has urged the public to join him in helping to save countless children’s lives during next year’s Tour de Munster competition.

The star, who was a constant presence on the sport’s international circuit during the 1980s, made the call during a celebration dinner for the leading charity at the weekend.

Since the Tour de Munster began in 2001 it has raised more than €500,000 for the Chernobyl Children’s Project International group’s children’s heart appeal.
