Laois retailer set to saddle up to raise funds for Down Syndrome Ireland

Laois retailer, Dermot Mulhall is inviting customers to support its Tour de MACE static cycle in-store in order to raise funds for its charity partner, Down Syndrome Ireland.

The event will take place on July 27, from 10am to 3pm.

MACE Mountrath is one of many MACE stores involved in running this rewarding charity event throughout the Summer.

The Mountrath store is hosting a unique in-store static cycle event, whereby customers can donate from 15 minutes to 1 hour of their time to cycle and contribute much needed funds to Down Syndrome Ireland, MACE’s charity partner.

Customers and staff can sign up beforehand by calling into the store to select their cycling time slot or else they can sign up on the day.

MACE are encouraging customers who aren’t participating to come along and join in on the celebrations and donate funds towards Down Syndrome Ireland.

Each Tour de MACE makes a real and lasting difference to children with Down syndrome and their families throughout Ireland as funds are transferred directly to the charity.

The campaign is an integral source of funding for the development of Down Syndrome Ireland’s nationwide support services.

“We hope you will support us and Down Syndrome Ireland by joining in on the Tour de MACE excitement at MACE Mountrath,” Mr Mulhall said.

“We want to encourage as many of our customers to join in, so if you’re in the area, we would be very grateful if you pop into the store, to participate or donate and support this wonderful charity.”

Monies raised will be directed towards Down Syndrome Ireland’s Skills Academy.

This programme is dedicated solely to helping prepare adults with Down syndrome for the workplace and will go a long way in providing practical experience and training and supporting adults with Down syndrome in fulfilling their potential.
