Sean Kelly ‘King of the Castle’—a sportive cycling event dedicated to breaking the stigma around men’s mental health.

Neglecting men’s mental health jeopardises the well-being of families, workplaces, and communities. When men are discouraged from expressing vulnerability, seeking help, or even acknowledging their mental health, it perpetuates a culture of silence that fosters isolation.

Men, like anyone else, deserve the space to articulate their struggles and to seek help without fear of judgment. By dismantling the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, we cultivate an environment where emotional expression is not a sign of weakness but a testament to resilience.

Cycle Against Suicide seeks to address the culture of silence by encouraging emotional expression and promoting resilience. By tackling stigmas, especially those related to male vulnerability and the higher rates of suicide among men, we provide a platform for men to articulate their struggles without fear of judgment.

Join our Sean Kelly ‘King of the Castle’ Sportive and come out in support of a society that values, supports and celebrates men’s mental wellbeing.

This event is open to men and woman, and of all abilities. Women’s involvement provides invaluable perspective and encouragement, promoting integral wellness for all.

Cycle Against Suicide continues to take its mission across the Atlantic with our Pilgrim Tour, USA taking place on Sunday, 10th August.

Covering iconic routes through historic and vibrant communities, this cycling event unites cyclists, and local support organisations with a shared goal: to spark conversation, offer hope, and remind everyone that ‘It’s OK not to feel OK, and it’s absolutely OK to ask for help.’

This event is not just a cycle, rather it is about making mental health visible and tackling stigma, creating safe spaces for dialogue, and strengthening our global message of connection and support.

World Suicide Prevention Day, held annually on September 10th, is a global call to action, raising awareness, breaking stigma, and encouraging open conversations around suicide and mental health.

By recognising this day, Cycle Against Suicide joins a worldwide movement to reduce suicide and offer hope to those who are struggling.

This year’s theme, “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”, calls for a shift from silence and misunderstanding to openness, empathy, and support. It urges individuals, communities, organisations, and governments to engage in honest dialogue about suicide, helping to break down barriers and foster a culture of understanding.

As part of this effort, Cycle Against Suicide hosts its annual ‘Mizen to Malin-Cycle of Hope’, a powerful cross-country cycle uniting people to raise awareness and show solidarity with those affected by suicide.

By joining our ‘Mizen to Malin-Cycle of Hope’ you are helping to change the narrative on suicide.

Please note: This is a fully supported event. It caters for all abilities from speed of 18 kmph, with cyclists grouped according to speed and abilities.

This year, World Mental Health Day shines a light on a truth we cannot ignore: Mental health is a universal human right.

The global theme, “Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies”, reminds us that in times of crisis, whether personal, social, or global, timely support can mean the difference between despair and recovery, between loss and life.

At Cycle Against Suicide, our mission has always been clear: to break the cycle of silence and address mental health stigma by reminding people that “It’s OK not to feel OK, and it’s absolutely OK to ask for help”, and to ensure access to help is available when and where it is needed most.

This World Mental Health Day, we invite you to join us for the Cycle Against Suicide Winter Lunch. More than just an event, it is a powerful gathering where individuals and businesses unite to; 

Champion access to mental health supports for individuals, families, schools, workplaces, and communities across Ireland.
