Family Cycling Opportunities in Lovely Leitrim

Variety Ireland’s Recycle Mobility Programme provides access to cycling for children with disabilities right across Ireland. On our journey around Ireland we recently ventured west of the river Shannon to lovely Leitrim to present a special mobility trike to a fabulous young lady called Elizabeth. This now means that she and other family members can enjoy the freedom of cycling together around picturesque Co Leitrim and beyond. Not only does our Recycle Mobility Programme provide vital exercise opportunities for Elizabeth, but also contributes to the wellbeing of the whole family being able to do cycling activities together.

Here is a lovely note we received from Elizabeth’s mum, thanking us for her daughter’s new trike. On behalf of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ireland and Minister’s Anne Rabbitte, Minister Jack Chambers and Minister Eamon Ryan for supporting our programme, may we all wish you and your family , many many happy years of cycling together!

“Dear Variety Ireland Team,

I am writing on behalf of our daughter Elizabeth and all in our family to sincerely express our gratitude to yourselves, Minister Anne Rabbitte, Minister Eamon Ryan and Minister Chambers who so kindly helped provide our daughter with her new mobility bike.

Elizabeth’s new trike means we can enjoy cycling activities together as a family which before now was an impossibility. Your Recycle Mobility Programme presents real cycling opportunities to families with children with disabilities. This is not only good for their physical health, but also all of our own wellbeing as we can now do outdoor activities together. Thank you all so much as it’s given our Elizabeth and the family a new lease of life and we will be forever grateful.

Thank you again!”

Alex (Elizabeth’s mother)
