On your bikes! Offaly school raises incredible amount for hospice project

THE Transition Year students and the staff of Tullamore College were very proud to present a cheque for €22,070 to Professor Humphrey O’Connor, chair of the Offaly Hospice committee.

The money was raised through a coast to coast tandem relay.

Professor O’Connor praised the great achievement and commended the students both for their hard work and their impressive comportment.

Tulamore College principal Edward McEvoy said: “We are very grateful to our sponsors, families, past pupils and members of the public whose generous donations helped us raise more than double our target of €10,000 for this vital cause.”
