There’ll be more than bricks building something special during The Great Coleraine Build, as the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Dawn Huggins, gets on her bike for a cause very close to her heart.

On Saturday 17 October, the first day of the huge National Brick Events weekend in Coleraine, the Mayor will take part in a charity static cycle outside Coleraine Town Hall in aid of Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke.

And you can join her!

Members of the public are invited to book a 15-minute cycling slot between 10am and 4pm and help raise funds for the charity.

The event marks National Stroke Day and has a very personal significance for Councillor Huggins, who lost her mum to a severe stroke.

The Mayor said: “Having lost my mum to a severe stroke, Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke is a charity that means a great deal to me personally.

“You only need to give 15 minutes of your time. Whether you’re a regular cyclist or simply want to support a great cause, I’d love to see you there.”

The cycle takes place right at the heart of an action-packed weekend, with the National Brick Events weekend bringing a huge celebration of LEGO® and brick building to three venues across Coleraine town centre on 17 and 18 October.
