CRY104fm held their
annual spin-a-thon over Friday, 17 and Saturday, 18 August. Over 12 teams entered the competition in a battle to win €500 for their chosen club or charity.
Youghal Cycling Club
entered a team of three made up of Tom Hick- ey, Séamus Landers and Michael Roche. They did trojan work and covered a staggering 32.1km!! When sign- ing up, Youghal Cycling Club very generously decided if
they won any
prize to split it between their own junior section of the club and with the local Parents Together in Autism. Committee members of the Parents Together in Autism were
blown away by this ex- tremely altruistic move by Youghal Cycling Club. Alison Lawlor (Chairper- son), said “Thank you to the team from the cycling club for their fantastic support which we really appreciate. What a lovely surprise for us. On behalf of the children in the group, I’d like to say con- gratulations and thanks again to Tom, Séamus and Michael for their extraordinary
donation.
Our group membership is growing monthly and every penny will be put to good use.”
Hot on the heels of
Youghal Cycling Club were Aura Leisure Centre with 31.2km and 3rd went
to the The
place Bru
Columbanus team with 30.6km. Running along- side the spin-a-thon was a 50 hour radiothon and bucket collection. Funds raised will be tallied over the coming week.
Speaking with The
East Cork Journal Darragh Parker (CRY Station Manager) said, “We were delighted with the number of teams who entered and the excite- ment rallied from their supporters. We’d like to thank all those who took part in both the spin-a- thon and radiothon and to all those who donated. The public
are always
great to support us and this weekend’s events were no exception.” Broadcasting to
Youghal and many sur- rounding areas, CRY- 104fm is wonderful local station packed with mu- sic, interviews, news and much more, keeping old and young alike enter- tained. Congratulations to all
involved on a great week- end of fun and fundrais- ing!
