SPONSORED CYCLE in FRANCE 2024

2024 - our 40th Anniversary CYCLE to LOURDES

2024 will be the 40th Anniversary of our first fundraising cycle in France to raise funds for The Irish Pilgrimage Trust. The whole purpose of an Irish Pilgrimage Trust Cycle is to fundraise for the young people with special needs who will be brought to Lourdes and on Summer breaks in Kilcuan.

Our Cycle to Lourdes is a very unique event and always attracts a great group of individuals. Why not take on the challenge to train for and participate in this 1,000km long 7-day cycle. 

Everyone joining the Cycle to Lourdes, Cyclists and Backup teams, raise sponsorship to provide much needed funds for The Irish Pilgrimage Trust. These funds provide assisted annual holiday pilgrimage trips to children and young people with additional needs. Our wonderful Volunteers, Carers and Medical support pay their own fares. This ensures that maximum value is derived from the funds raised by this event to directly benefit our special young people. All Cyclists and Volunteers pay their own fares.

Our first Sponsored Cycle to Lourdes took place in 1984 and quickly became an established biennial event raising much needed funds to help finance The Irish Pilgrimage Trust.
