IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL BYRNE: TIPPERARY THREE PEAK CHALLENGE
It is with heavy hearts that we announced the tragic passing of our beloved son, brother, and friend, Michael Byrne, who lost his life to suicide during the May bank holiday weekend last year. In honour of Michael’s memory, his family and friends will participate in the Tipperary Three Peak Challenge this Saturday, May 3rd. We plan to ascend Galtee Mor, Slievenamon, and The Devil’s Bit as a tribute to him. All funds raised from this event will be divided between two vital charities: Jigsaw, which provides mental health support and services for young people aged 12-25, and C-SAW, a charity offering suicide support services in South Tipperary.
We invite you to support our cause and help raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention in our community. To contribute, please visit our GoFundMe page at www.gofundme.com “A Hike for Mike.” Thank you for your support in making a difference.
