"Stand back and watch this - that's what we say when we're gonna do something stupid."

Three cousins from West Waterford are setting off on the trip of a lifetime on July 1st - raising vital funds for local mental health charities in doing so.

Ryan, Jack and Cillian O'Connor from Cappoquin are cycling from Amsterdam to Athens this summer - taking in the wonders of Europe, with plenty of laughs, pints and arguments expected along the way.

The cousins are determined to do something for their local community, as they feel that the stigma attached to depression and associated issues needs to be better highlighted.

Teaming up with Donnchadh Mulcahy and the West Waterford Suicide Prevention and Support Group - the trio have already raised €3,400 and are hoping the efforts of their excursions will be felt on the ground.
