MAYOR of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Brian Tierney, congratulated the cricketers involved in the ‘Pedal 4 Patto’ campaign yesterday at the Guildhall.
The campaign was started to raise funds for Andy Patterson, a former cricketer who was diagnosed with Spastic Paraplegia in March of 2013.
A group of Andy’s friends came together and decided to cycle around every cricket club in the Northern Cricket Union in 24 hours to raise funds to allow Andy to make much needed renovations to his home in order to provide as much of a sense of normality in the future as possible for him.
Mayor Tierney tweeted: “Great to meet the local cricketers involved in the ‘Pedal 4 Patto’ campaign, a cycle from Sion Mills to Muckamore raising funds for Andrew Patterson, a former cricketer living with Spastic Paraplegia.
“Well done to Bobby, Andrew, Decker, Richard and all involved in this campaign!”
