Paramedics get on their bikes to raise funds for cancer research

Ten men, nine counties, five days and more than 600km — all in aid of research into childhood cancer.

A group of 10 ambulance paramedics, nine of them from the Co Cork area and one from the North, will cycle 660km from Mizen Head to Malin Head later this month.

It will take them five days to complete the journey, which begins at Mizen on Tuesday Apr 17 and finishes in Malin Head the following Saturday.
