One Clare man has been lauded for his fundraising efforts for a mental health service in the county.
Last month, Cappaโs Shane King undertook a charity cycle on his MotoMed bike in aid of the youth mental health charity, Happy Feet Happy Minds which is based in West Clare. Initially the 38 year old had hoped to bring โฌ1000 from the cycle, however he has surpassed that figure with over โฌ5097 raised to date.
Describing Shane as โone in a millionโ, Happy Feet Happy Minds expressed their gratitude online. โPeople of West Clare we really are blessed to have this young man amongst us and who goes over and beyond for his communityโ. The group said they were โoverwhelmed by the support he has receivedโ.
In the days after completing the 32km cycle, King had no complaints or niggles. In previous interviews with The Clare Echo, he underlined the importance of keeping a positive attitude while having cerebral palsy and how accessibility can still improve in certain sectors.
