Had an awesome time today at the Aviva Stadium for the launch of DARE! Kathryn Thomas was the first to abseil from the roof of the stadium and even carried a bike after very little persuasion by us! She is a game girl! Others to come down the 47m rope to publicise this great event were Ruth Scott, Ray Shah, Celeb Chef Donal Skehan, Donal Barret from our Charity CHILDLINE and varous journalists from national media! Big thanks to Heather and Jeff at BigO Media, the guys at Work at Height and all who helped make today a success. Big up also to Dillon - a 13 year old lad who did the abseil for us and who didn't look phased at all while some adults (who shall remain nameless) were pooing in their pants!

2 Wheels Bike stores have joined Team DARE and will look after everything bike-wise for the challenge. 

Childline have come on board as a linked charity. 5 euro from each entry fee will go directly to Childline. The event hopes to raise awareness for this very worthwhile charity which receives no government funding whatsoever.

Finally, the DARE website has gone LIVE! We hope you have a good look around and register for what will be one of the most exciting races in Ireland. The Aviva Stadium abseil will be awesome, however there are many highlights in this race, and we are certin that this will be the start of a must-do event on the adventure and sports calendar!
