Fundraising cyclists are travelling down the spine of Tipperary today to raise money for two local organisations.
Raising funds for Tipperary Search & Rescue and North Tipperary Hospice, 10 cyclists started out in Nenagh this morning on a 100 kilometre journey down to Clonmel, stopping at Thurles, Cashel and Cahir on the way.

Tom Harvey from Tipperary Search & Rescue says their service has remained in high demand since their last fundraiser pre-pandemic:
“When all this started off we started with food deliveries, pharmacy deliveries, welfare checks on elderly people and then we did a couple of patient transports.
“That would be getting people to the doctors and stuff like that, along with maintaining the service that we do.”
