Get on your bike for mental health and suicide awareness

The mental health and suicide awareness cycle in aid of Suicide or Survive (SOS) is a fundraiser that takes place each year. Now in its seventh year, the fundraiser has raised €60,000 since 2015.

This year’s cycle, called Cycle for SOS, will now take place online from March 29 to April 9. It sets the challenge to take on a 20km cycle within your 5km radius to help raise awareness for mental health and vital funds for SOS. All funds raised will go to SOS to enable them to facilitate free mental health workshops across Ireland.

Now more than ever during these difficult times, people are struggling with their mental health and need the services that SOS provide. SOS, in turn, needs your help to raise these vital funds to ensure it continue to provide much-needed services.

To take part, donate via Just Giving, cycle 20km within your 5km exercise radius, and nominate three people to take part on social media using the hashtag #CYCLEFORSOS.

All updates will be posted on the Mental Health and Suicide Awareness page on Facebook and on @cycleforsos on Instagram. For more information on SOS see https://suicideorsurvive.ie.
