On 14th March 2017 Dublin based Irish Coastguard Helicopter Rescue 116 crashed off the County Mayo coast Ireland resulting in the loss of hero crew Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, Captain Mark Duffy, Winchman Ciaran Smith and winch operator Paul Ormsby.
Along with many others we were devastated by this tragic incident and wanted to do something to honour the memory of the crew of Rescue 116.
On 20th June 2018 South Western Ambulance Service Paramedic's Naomi Miller and Alan Whitehead and student Paramedic Ashley Ingram will be cycling 550 miles around Ireland with support van driven by student Paramedic Darin Sydenham following. Starting in Sligo and finishing in Dublin on 29th June 2018.
All money raised will go to Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue team and the RNLI who are voluntary rescue services who rely on public donations for vital equipment and to carry out their life saving operations.
Please support us and spread the word.
If you could all donate a pound/euro each that would be fantastic! Thank you in advance,
WM
