Three local teachers from St Columba's College in St Albans, Mr O'Sullivan, Mr Pinto, and Mr McGinnity, recently completed an incredible cycling challenge over the Easter break to raise funds for the ICONHOPE FOUNDATION, a project that supports homeless children based in the Philippines.

Over the course of two days, on April 17th and 18th, the trio cycled over 100 miles from the UK to Amsterdam. Despite the physical strain, the three men in lycra persevered and were able to raise over £3700 for the ICONHOPE FOUNDATION.

The ICONHOPE FOUNDATION is a project of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and has been making a positive impact in the lives of many young people in need. The funds raised will go towards providing compassionate care, a safe and secure environment, and formal schooling to homeless children.

Barry, Cedy, and Damian expressed their gratitude to everyone who supported them in this endeavour, and they are proud to have made a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
