Terry Geddis from Coleraine will cycle the length of Ireland in 24 hours on June 19. The challenge supports the Zachary Geddis Trust, formed in memory of his son Zachary, who died on March 18, 2017.

Geddis has undertaken five prior charity cycles for the trust and has covered more than 20,000 miles across Ireland. Those efforts raised almost £50,000 for mental health initiatives.

The trust provides free support services to more than 200 clients weekly. Services cover adult mental health, youth programs for children and young people, advocacy in tough situations, and community wellbeing activities. Clients range in age from five and up.

Geddis experienced severe depression with inpatient treatment at Ross Thomson Unit four times and Holywell Hospital once. He uses cycling to promote awareness of suicide loss and mental health struggles.

Organisers call on supporters, businesses and community groups across Ireland to back the Cycle for Suicide 2026 event. They expect a community welcome in Coleraine upon Geddis's return.
