72-hour charity cycle to raise funds for Berkeley balcony collapse victims

Family members and friends of the seven injured Berkeley balcony collapse victims are taking part in a 72-hour cycle in a bid to raise funds for spiralling health costs.

On September 3, family and friends of the Berkeley Balcony Collapse will cycle 13 bikes continuously for 72 hours in an attempt to collectively cover the distance of Dublin to Berkeley and back.

The cycle, which is being held at Dundrum Shopping Centre, will begin at midday with the 72 hours split into two-hour slots. The event is being organised by friends of Aoife Beary, who is one of seven students seriously injured in the horrific accident in the US on June 16.
