Well done to @tcddublin alumnus, Fergal Guihen (General Nursing, 2021), who recently completed a 30,000km cycling challenge from Roscommon to Australia.

Fergal's cycle took him to 28 countries and across three continents, and he has raised almost €170,000 to date in aid of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation and NorthWest STOP suicide prevention services.

Fergal's former lecturer, Jacqueline Whelan, Director of Global Engagement at the School of Nursing & Midwifery, joined a huge crowd on the steps of Sydney Opera House to cheer on Fergal as he finished his cycling odyssey.👏🚴‍♂️
