Help a good cause. Peak Physio patient raises money for Dublin hospital

John Hynes will be participating in the Liverpool to Chester Cycle on Sunday, July 7 to raise money for St. Luke’s Hospital in Dublin.
 The facility provides essential treatment for those dealing with cancer and the Tipperary native was only happy to get involved in generating funds for a worthy cause.
 “”St Luke’s has been helping people from all over Ireland since opening in 1954,” John said. “Money raised through charity events such as this cycle go towards enhancing the care and comfort of patients.”

A keen cyclist, John has suffered from a few knee injuries over the years.

“Thankfully excellent treatment and advice from Peak Physio has helped me to recover,” he explains. “I’ve been doing plenty of training to be ready for the cycle and lots of people have been very, very generous with their donations. For example, Peak  Physio
pledged €240.”

At the time of writing the total stands at over €850. “I thought €200 would be a reasonable target,” John continues. “To get as much as we have so far shows how charitable people are, especially in these tough economic times. Thanks to everyone.”
