TEAM Youghal took a massive step forward to raising awareness of the Emer Casey Foundation this morning by appearing on Ireland AM on TV3, helping to promote the ‘Race around Ireland 2010’.

The East Cork Eight man cycling team, led by Ger Flanagan, are part of a massive push to raise funds for the Emer Casey Foundation and are the defending eight man, team race around Ireland champions and will look to go close to last year’s time of just over 90 hours.

Flanagan spoke of the team’s intention in the gruelling 1,350 mile race which leaves Navan covers the county and ends up in Navan at the finish line some three and a half days later to Ireland AM Presenter Alan Hughes.

Flanagan when asked about how much would be raised during the event replied “Well you’re talking about hundreds of thousands of Euro, which is great and we in team Youghal are a group of leisure cyclists and we have managed to raise quite a significant amount ourselves, so there is fantastic support out there for this event”.

There is a meeting with all the details to the ‘Race around Ireland to be held at DCU tomorrow Saturday the 20th of March, for more information on Team Youghal, go to
