Hi folks. Bit of a selfish plug...
This September after 2 years of hosting members of the FDNY here in Ireland as they cycled through Ireland to the FDNY 9/11 remembrance garden in Ringfinnan, Kinsale, County Cork, I along with 27 Irish firefighters will travel to Boston to cycle 343miles from Boston to New York City to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks in 2001 and remember the 343 killed at the World Trade Centre.
On our journey down the North East coast we will also remember the 400+ FDNY members who have died since 2001 due to 9/11 illness and the thousands of Firefighters suffering with illness associated with their Rescue and Recovery efforts at Ground Zero in the weeks and months that followed. NEVER FORGET. 343 and counting...
Joining us on our 5 day cycle from Boston to NYC will be members of the FDNY, Boston FD and members of the public.
We are raising money for three incredible charities: Friends of Firefighters in NYC that offers free counselling and wellness services to members of the FDNY and their families for the last 25 years, the Boston Fire Cancer Foundation, and Livestrong.
If you can help to support my journey and these 3 great charities please do so. I'm extremely grateful for all the support

I’m participating in Ride for Resilience, a five-day memorial ride from Boston to New York City honoring the 343 firefighters lost on 9/11 and supporting first responders still living with its impact. Twenty-five years later, the need is still real. Please consider donating to support this...
