In early July 2013, the Irish Air Corps and associates will conduct a Mizen to Malin Charity Cycle in order to raise money and awareness for the Lakelands Area Retreat and Cancer Care Centre (www.larcc.ie).
LARCC is a unique Cancer Support Centre, situated in the beautiful grounds of Multyfarnham Franciscan Friary, in Co Westmeath. The Centre has a strong association with ex Air Corps Commandant Frank Russell (39th Class) who was its Co-Founder in 2002, and has himself recovered from a second bout of Cancer.
In conjunction with the Cycling Challenge, the Irish Air Corps, in association with LARCC, will host a guided walk in the fabulous Burren area of Co Clare on Wednesday 3rd July 2013. The walk should last approximately 5 hours and will be led by a well known local guide and Burren expert, Mary Howard from Fanore. Frank will be there on behalf of the Committee and to sample the Burren air for himself. It will be a day for old comrades and friends to meet and swop yarns while stretching the legs for a great cause.
