On your bike: Time to saddle up as the Trip to Tipp fundraising cycle returns

 The 27th Annual Trip To Tipp in support of NCBI is right around the corner and they would love for as many people to join them as possible for the event which takes place on Sunday September 3th 2022.

Long-time Trip To Tipp ambassador, Billy Shanahan, said: “Another year has passed and we’re planning for another brilliant Trip To Tipp event! I’m delighted we can work with NCBI once again to raise much needed funds for the many services the organisation offers to people with sight loss. This will be a great day out for our walkers, runners and cyclists and we can’t wait to meet everyone who drops down to celebrate with us!’
