4 Provinces Cycle

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT

After our very successful inaugural 32 County Cycle last year, we are delighted this year to provide an opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to partake in our 4 Provinces Cycle. Based in Athlone, our fundraising cyclists will enjoy 2 terrific days cycling; Day 1 Connaught/Ulster and Day 2 Leinster/Munster. Both cycles provide a worthwhile challenge but at the same time are well within the compass of the keen amateur.

The dates for this event are Saturday 14^th and Sunday 15^th July 2012.

For those of you with a love of landscape, a passion for history and a sense of adventure then look no further and come trek with us. If you are up for a good physical challenge and want to support the work of Bóthar along the way then contact us on 0719120100 or events@bothar.ie

SIÚL GO DTÍ SEASCA - 60km in one day for Bóthar, 21st April 2012

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Peter Ireton, former Chief Executive and co-founder of Bóthar is turning 60 this coming April and to mark this milestone birthday, Pete has decided to create a fundraising event in order to celebrate!

The event ‘SIÚL GO DTÍ SEASCA’ will be a sponsored 60km walk in one day (a kilometer for each year!) in order to raise much needed funds for Bóthar’s livestock projects in Rwanda.

This walk will begin at the University of Limerick travelling out to picturesque Killaloe and returning back in one day! (Full journey time estimated between 12 and 14 hours).

Why not join Pete for part or all of his walk and raise vital funds for this worthy charity? You can easily join or leave the walk at a number of stages along the route. Or, you can simply sponsor Pete on his very own walk!
