[Engsoc-Committee] Fwd: Ger McDonnell Memorial cycle 2014
by Chigozie Nnamdi Anyanwu 13 Feb '14

Forgot to send this.....let me know if you guys can make it ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Noel E O'Connor" <Noel.OConnor(a)dcu.ie> Date: 7 Feb 2014 11:24 Subject: Ger McDonnell Memorial cycle 2014 To: "Chigozie Nnamdi Anyanwu" <chigozie.anyanwu3(a)mail.dcu.ie> Cc: "Claire Whelehan" <claire.whelehan(a)dcu.ie> Hi Chigozie, Hope you and the rest of the Eng Soc are keeping well. I may have mentioned to you guys before that this year the DCU Educational Trust along with some DCU alumni, including myself, are organizing an annual sponsored cycle in memory of Ger McDonnell, Irish mountaineer, hero and DCU engineering graduate. You may have learnt about Ger's achievements in the recent film "The Summit" (http://thesummitfilm.com/) He was the first Irish climber to reach the summit of K2. Unfortunately, in the worst climbing disaster in the history of K2, Ger was killed by an ice avalanche during his descent when he stopped to help rescue other climbers. Since his passing, a number of stories have emerged of how he regularly helped or rescued other climbers all over the world. All proceeds from the cycle will go to the Ger McDonnell Access Scholarship, which each year provides a deserving student with the opportunity to attend DCU, targeting young people from groups currently underrepresented in higher education. The 110km cycle recreates a famous cycle Ger took whilst recuperating at home in Limerick after climbing Everest for the first time. The spectacular route winds through parts of Limerick, Kerry, across the Shannon (via the Tarbert Ferry) and through Clare (incl a climb up the cliffs of Moher). The event caters for cyclists of all levels and typically has everyone from teenagers to pensioners taking part. I'd love if the Eng Society could be involved in some capacity -- helping with organisation, fund raising, taking part, etc. Claire Whelehan from the Trust and I are holding an information session on the cycle at 9:30 on 14th Feb, venue TBC. Can you let the rest of the committee know and then let me know if you're interested and how many plan to attend. Claire will then book a suitable meeting room and let us know the venue. Many thanks - hope to meet see some of you on 14th, Best regards, Noel ============================================ Prof Noel E O'Connor Director Research and Enterprise Hub Information Technology & the Digital Society Dublin City University Phone: 353 1 700 5078 Fax: 353 1 700 7995 Email Disclaimer "This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for use by the addressee.
