Raising Money for Mental Health

Mondello 24hr Cycle

By Alan Reid

Raised so far:

€1,165

Alan Reid is taking part in the Mondello 24 Hour Cycle Challenge, riding continuously for 24 hours around Mondello Park to raise funds for youth mental health to support mental health awareness and education.

"When I first signed up for the event in October 2025, the goal was purely a personal challenge — to see if I could ride 600km in 24 hours. However, towards the end of 2025 my family experienced a sudden loss, and some of the circumstances surrounding it led me into a period of severe anxiety and panic attacks. It was something I had never experienced before and it hit hard — lack of sleep, loss of appetite, and within two weeks I had lost nearly 3kg. My training stopped almost completely and for a while the idea of taking part in the event at all seemed very far away." Find out more
