Cyclists have raised a staggering €290,000 for the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI) providing vital funding after what has been a very challenging year for all charities. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the vast majority of the DSI branch’s vital fundraising events which made this year’s Tour de Munster charity cycle even more important. While there are a number of smaller beneficiaries from each year's event, the bulk of the cash goes to DSI branches in Munster. The fundraising total from August’s 600km tour across the six counties of Munster topped €340,000, with the bulk of the cash going to the DSI branches.
