The 'Magnificent Seven', who all hail from Tipperary, will cycle the length of the country this month as they aim to raise money for the Irish Kidney Association — and plan to complete the feat in just 24 hours. The group will partake in a 600km ultra cycle from Mizen to Malin, scaling 4,000m of elevation, between June 25 and 26.
Members of the Upperchurch Drombane Cycling Club, one of whom has chronic kidney disease, are hoping the event will raise over €7,000 for the Tipperary branch of the Irish Kidney Association.
