A charity is challenging cyclists to do their bit to raise awareness and funds for men's mental health, particularly middle-aged and older men - the demographics most at risk of suicide in Ireland. 

Cycle Against Suicide is running the 'Wheels of Change' events to spread the message to men of all ages that it is "okay not to feel okay, and absolutely okay to ask for help". The events are organised in the lead-up to Bike4Life on September 10, which is world suicide prevention day.
