Cycling for a Cause: Danny O'Sullivan - Turning Grief into Generosity


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I have a conversation with Danny O'Sullivan from Tralee, County Kerry. Danny shares the profoundly emotional experience of losing his wife, Alison, at just 37 years of age to a sudden and aggressive form of cancer just 10 weeks after diagnosis.

Despite the heartbreak, Danny has channeled his energy into organising a significant charity cycle from Malin to Mizen Head, aiming to raise funds for the palliative care unit at University Hospital Kerry. This facility provided indispensable care to Alison and continues to support families during their most challenging times.

Join me to hear about Danny's journey from his Gaelic football roots to embracing a triathlon lifestyle spurred by the COVID pandemic, and now using his passion for cycling to make a difference. Discover how a community's generosity and a family's resilience can help build a brighter future for those facing similar battles.
