“We’ll be on three bikes outside the Lisburn Tesco store from midday to 6.30pm, collecting money and using pedal power for Parkview.
“We hope people will give generously on the day for a good cause.”

“City are playing United that Thursday night. So we hope we’ll have double cause for celebration – a big sum raised for Parkview and a big win over Mourinho’s men,” adds Damian.
“I wouldn’t say our supporters club is in the super fit bracket, so 300 miles is a tough enough challenge on the bikes.

Lisburn MCFC Supporters Club has been going for over 10 years, following the team through its legendary ups and downs.
Parkview Special School is based at Brokerstown Road in Lisburn.
