BACK on the road for Transaid: Cork to Dublin 2025 challenge

This September, James Backhouse, Jonathon Backhouse, and Andrew Woolfall are taking on an epic challenge: cycling 328km across Ireland in just three days!

From Cork to Dublin, they’ll face rolling hills, unpredictable Irish weather, sweeping coastal roads, and the mighty Wicklow Mountains, all in support of Transaid. No objections, no appeals… just pure pedal power!

Why are they doing it?

Every single day, lives are put at risk across sub-Saharan Africa due to dangerous roads, a lack of transport, and insufficient driver training. Transaid is tackling these issues head-on by:

  • Delivering professional driver training

  • Building safer transport systems

  • Improving access to healthcare in rural communities

How can you help?

James, Jonathon, and Andrew are pedalling hard, but they can’t do it without your support. Every donation makes a real difference. Whether it funds a driver safety course or helps provide life-saving medical access, you’ll be helping Transaid transform lives.

Donating is quick, easy, and secure through JustGiving. So please, get in gear and support the Backhouses’ Cork to Dublin challenge today!
