Rugby stars saddle up for Chernobyl fundraiser

Munster rugby team members James Downey and James Coughlan swapped rugby balls for bicycles as they kicked off the annual Chernobyl Children International fundraising campaign.

The theme of this year’s annual charity cycle in July is simply ‘Do Miles, Make Smiles’.

The event will see cyclists depart from Highfield Rugby Club in Bishopstown, Cork and complete a 100km or 50km cycle route.
