Stars saddle up for round trip of Republic

Personalities from across a broad spectrum of Irish life yesterday took to their bikes to aid a suicide awareness charity.

Roz Purcell, Bressie, Brent Pope, PJ Gallagher, and Colm Hayes set off from Wicklow on a round trip of the Republic, taking in all of the coastal and border counties.

Organisers described the Cycle Against Suicide as Europe’s biggest charity cycle awareness event.
