Cathy and Gregory McLaughlin with Richard Moore from Children in Crossfire
The Foreglen husband and wife duo said they decided on the challenge to celebrate Gregory’s forthcoming 60th birthday.
Speaking about the challenge, Gregory said: “Cathy and I are close friends of Richard Moore.
“Even though we are cycling enthusiasts, we recognise it is quite a challenge for us over four days. We are looking forward to it and hoping we will raise plenty of money for this great cause.
Richard Moore, founder and executive director of Children in Crossfire, said: “I am very grateful to Gregory and Cathy, not just for taking on this cycle challenge but for all they have done for Children in Crossfire over many years. They are wonderful supporters and great friends.
“To give an example of what the money Gregory and Cathy raise will support, Children in Crossfire are currently; funding life-saving hospital treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition, supporting health workers to promote good nutrition and carry out community health checks, building water wells and new school classrooms, training early years’ teachers and providing children with essential learning materials.
“I hope, when the going gets tough as they cycle north, that Gregory and Cathy will take encouragement from knowing what they are helping Children in Crossfire to achieve.
“We look forward to applauding them for their efforts and thanking them for everything they do.”
