Damian decided to fundraise for the charity after receiving a moving handwritten letter from a young boy.

“Damian’s fundraising efforts for Jigsaw are extraordinary. Demand for our mental health services and supports is on the increase, as we see more and more young people expressing feelings of isolation, fear and anxiety. It’s truly disheartening to see so many children and young adults struggling and finding it hard to get the support they so desperately need,” said Matthew Oakes, a spokesperson for Jigsaw.

“At Jigsaw, we are committed to ensuring that young people not only receive the help they need but the help they truly deserve. It is through the amazing fundraising efforts of Damian, and others like him, that we can continue making a real difference in the lives of these young individuals.

“We urge everyone who can to come out and show their support for Damian and his fellow riders on this remarkable journey. And if you can, we kindly ask for you to make a contribution to their fundraising efforts by texting JIGSAW to 50300 and donating €2.”
