West Cork students go loopy for charity cycle

Two hardy West Cork college graduates have embarked on a month-long fund-raising ‘loop’ of the island of Ireland in a bid to help alleviate the negative impact of the pandemic on their communities.

So far, the duo who have been camping and cooking in the open for weeks as they tour Ireland’s rugged coastline, have raised more than €5,000 for the Rapid Response and Pieta House charities.
