My Story

We are taking part in Bike 4 Life for Cycle Against Suicide. Our aim is to cycle 220km between now and World Mental Health Day, October 10th to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

Cycle Against Suicide is an awareness charity (CHY 20687) that makes a valuable contribution to the public education of mental health by changing the narrative surrounding suicide.

When an individual is vulnerable enough to consider taking their own life, silence is read as indifference. With hundreds of people dying by suicide in Ireland each year and research indicating that thousands more contemplate it, we all have a role to play to collectively address the challenges that suicide presents.

In a bid to save more lives, Cycle Against Suicide through its programmes, sets out to change culture and create a society that openly talks about suicide to allow people to speak up and seek help.

Any help for this great cause is much appreciated. 

With thanks from TY Cycle Against Suicide students at St. Josephs.
