EIGHT Donegal men will set off from Mizen Head next Saturday and cycle all the way to Malin to raised funds for a Killygordon family so they can avail of new life-changing treatment in America for their brave two-year-old son.

Caolan Melaugh was just ten-weeks-old when his parents, Gerard and Stacey, received the devastating news he had Stage 4 high-risk Neuroblastoma, a very rare and aggressive form of cancer.

He has endured intense treatment for 15 months in Our Lady’s Hospital Crumlin which got him clear scans, however, he has since relapsed and the family are raising money for future treatment for Caolan in America as options are running out in Ireland.

In order to help his brave fight for life, eight men from the Finn Valley area will get on the saddle this Saturday, May 27, and cycle the 630 KM route in time to be in Malin on Tuesday.

The team is Gerry Byrne, Kieran Doherty, Gabriel Doherty, Seamus McDermott, Noel McGowan, Louis Browne, Karl Gallen, Tommy Gallen and support crew leader, Mark Ewing.

Please help them raise much-needed funds for Caolan, your support is greatly appreciated. To make a donation, contact any team member or log on to www.gofundme.com/mizen-to-malins-cycle
