Cyclists roll out campaign to raise suicide awareness

A new awareness campaign is being rolled out nationwide in a bid to tackle Ireland’s suicide crisis.

Model Roz Purcell and rugby analyst Brent Pope, who has lost seven friends to suicide, are among a host of celebrities who have backed the 1,400km Cycle Against Suicide event which will see suicide prevention and bereavement support experts visiting 26 schools during the nationwide cycle from Apr 22 to May 5.
