Cycle 1000 Miles in August – Fundraising Success

In August, our members took on the challenge to cycle 1,000 miles — and what a success it was! Together, we not only achieved the distance but also raised vital funds to support Lisburn Outlook.

A special mention goes to our very own Ironman, Mark Gillespie, whose incredible efforts brought in half of the total raised. Mark’s determination and commitment were truly inspiring.

This fundraiser was a massive success, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us — whether by cycling, donating, or cheering us on.

Your contributions make a real difference and help us continue to grow our activities and community.
