Missing in Ireland Support Service (MISS) is a voluntary Organisation which was established to provide support for families and friends of Missing Persons. One of our aims is to raise public awareness of the problem – this year close to 6,000 people will have been reported to the Gardai as Missing.
Following the success of our 2005 "Missing Miles" in December last we intend to hold another cycle on Saturday and Sunday 14/15th October as part of our public awareness campaign. The event this time, will commence at Naas and travel to Moone where we will remember Jo Jo Dullard. Leaving Moone we will then travel via Athy, Portlaoise, Mountmellick and Killeigh to Tullamore to meet Fiona Penders family.
There will lbe an overnight stay in Tullamore. The following day we will head back to Naas via Portarlington, Kildare and Newbridge. During the cycle we will halt briefly at some locations in order to meet the families of long-term missing. An invitation is extended to members of Cycling Clubs throughout Ireland to take part in the event.
Participants may if they wish raise their own sponsorship which can be used to offset the cost of their overnight stay. Reduced rates have been obtained for evening meal and overnight stay at various Hotels around Tullamore **(See Below for details)**.
Full information on times etc. will be available closer to the day in the meantime any enquiries should be directed to Tosh Lavery at 086 895 6917. All participation and assistance on the day will be greatly welcome in order to make a firm statement on this ongoing and hidden problem.
