Clare retailer seeks riders for Tour de Mace in aid of DSI


LOCAL retailers Joe Greensmith and Anne Keyes are inviting people to support the Tour de Mace static cycle in-store in order to raise funds for their charity partner, Down Syndrome Ireland.

The event will take place on May 28 and 29 from 10am to 5pm at the store on the Lahinch Road. This store is one of many Mace outlets involved in running this rewarding charity event throughout summer 2022.

The retailer is hosting a unique in-store static cycle event whereby customers can donate 15 minutes to 1 hour of their time to cycle and contribute much needed funds to Down Syndrome Ireland.

Customers and staff can sign up beforehand by calling into the store to select their cycling time slot or else they can sign up on the day.

They are encouraging customers who aren’t participating to come along and join in on the celebrations and donate funds towards Down Syndrome Ireland.

Each Tour de MACE makes a real and lasting difference to children with Down syndrome and their families throughout Ireland as funds are transferred directly to the charity.

The campaign is an integral source of funding for the development of Down Syndrome Ireland’s nationwide support services.

Joe said, “We hope you will support us and Down Syndrome Ireland by joining in on the Tour de Mace excitement at Mace Lahinch Road, Ennis.

“We want to encourage as many of our customers to join in, so if you’re in the area, we would be very grateful if you pop into the store, to participate or donate and support this wonderful charity.”

Down Syndrome Ireland is the chain’s official charity partner and MACE Sales Director Peter Dwan is delighted with the enthusiasm with which retailers and their staff have embraced the concept.

“We are very proud of Mace Lahinch Road, Ennis for hosting this wonderful event in order to support our charity partner Down Syndrome Ireland.

“The Tour de Mace event is great for the charity, the store and the local community of Ennis. The Tour de Mace event is a fabulous initiative and a fun way and healthy concept raise funds towards a very worthy cause,” said Peter.

Customers are encouraged to attend Mace Lahinch Road, Ennis Tour de MACE event at any stage on May 28 and 29 between 10am and 5pm.
