€1,350 was raised by the moving tribute to their colleague

Coláiste Phobal Ros Cré’s annual cycle to school in memory of former colleague Mick O’Shea took place on Wednesday May 28th.

This year the proceeds raised were donated to Milford hospice after 24 staff set off from Dunkerrin at 7.30am to make the trip into Roscrea with number of support vehicles also present.

Upon arrival the School Food Company provided a complimentary breakfast so all monies raised could go to Milford Hospice. A total of €1,350 was raised.

“Thank you to everyone for participating, making it such an enjoyable morning and to all who made donations” Coláiste Phobal's staff said.
