Roz Purcell launched the Dublin2Paris cycle with the help of Dragons Den’s Niall O’Farrell, Bobby Kerr and Sean Gallagher.
Announcing the FAI-Mustard Seed Euro Cycle, the charity event will see cyclists travel from the Aviva Stadium to the Stade de France in June, arriving in time for Ireland Vs Sweden at the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament.
“I’m delighted to hear that fundraisers from Mustard Seed are combining football with raising money for a wonderful cause. I wish everyone well on this epic trek to Paris,” said Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill.

The event organisers hope to raise €300,000 to fund the building and operations of a school at a Mustard Seed Communities Little Angels project in Zimbabwe, at Woodville, Bulawayo.
