Cycling to a better workforce

FORMER Government Minister and Kerry footballer, Jimmy Deenihan will be joined by a host of hugely accomplished speakers for a corporate cycling forum in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital taking place this Friday, June 30, in The Europe hotel in Killarney.

The ‘Contribution of Cycling to a Healthier Workforce’ forum includes a host of high profile CEO’s, and Mr Deenihan has secured Irish Olympian Sonia O’Sullivan to speak at the event before she takes on the 180km cycle the following day.

The forum takes place between 3pm and 5pm and will address the benefits of encouraging cycling in the workplace. Experts will weigh in on how this can lead to a healthier lifestyle, personal wellbeing and development as well as relationship building within the work place along with networking and team building.

Tickets cost €50 with all proceeds going to Temple Street Children’s Hospital, one of the charities aligned with the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle. Purchase in advance via: https://goo.gl/VeWAuS

Other speakers on the day will include Ollie Brogan MD of ESB International, Barney Whelan formerly of An Post, Joyce Farrell HR Manager of ESB International and Jim Breen CEO of Pulse Learning.

Mr Deehinan said he was delighted to be involved in the forum as now, more than ever, it is so important to look after ourselves both mentally and physically. “The Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle is the perfect event for our forum to coincide with as the biggest one day charity fundraising event in Ireland and we are thrilled that the money raised will go directly to one of the beneficiary charities of this year’s cycle,” he added.

Speaking ahead of the cycle Sonia O’Sullivan said: “I have been cycling regularly to prepare for the 180km cycle but can’t wait to appreciate the stunning scenery, especially as this is a cycle to enjoy and not a race.” Visit www.ringofkerrycycle.ie.
