A FUNDRAISING cycle that made a recent stop in Limerick has raised over €400,000 for Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI).
The Tour de Munster charity cycle takes place each year, aiming to raise money for DSI, a charity that supports families and those with Down syndrome living in Munster.
This year’s cycle raised a total of €402,072, with a combined total of €5million raised by the Tour since it was set up in 2001.
Paul Sheridan, the founder of Tour de Munster, said that the organisers “are over the moon to have raised such a phenomenal sum of €400,000 which will go a very long way in supporting the fantastic work carried out on a daily basis by the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland”.
