St. Joseph's GAA Club Easter Charity Cycle 2012 - from 31 March
We are undertaking an Easter Charity Cycle from Ruislip, London to Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon, Ireland from Saturday, 31 March. This epic challenge is in aid of Mickey Colleran's brother, Brian. Mickey is one of St. Joseph's best known and most liked players. Brian Colleran is a 24 year old man from Ballaghaderreen who was seriously injured in a car accident while travelling to work. Brian has a passion for all sports, especially Gaelic football, having played at all ages for Ballaghaderreen GAA Club and for one year with St. Claret's in London. Brian is constantly undergoing medical treatment and we hope to raise as much money as possible to help towards Brian's medical fees through 'The Brian Colleran Trust Fund'. The cycle will culminate in a Ballaghaderreen v St. Joseph's challenge match on Good Friday, 6 April.

As the cyclists who completed our Easter Charity Cycle in 2006 will testify, everyone felt an enormous sense of achievement afterwards and enjoyed plenty of craic along the way! So far, we have 16 confirmed cyclists. With less than 9 weeks to go, if you would like to take part, please let us know as soon as possible on 07597 168298. Please don't worry about your cycling ability; we will be arranging training sessions in Richmond Park in the weeks leading up to the cycle.
