Bring Mike Home...
That is the simple message from Waterville GAA in Kerry.
Mike Curran needs our help. The proud Kerry man was coming to the end of a trip of a lifetime with his girlfriend Sara O'Shea, but unfortunately he was struck by a car in France and has suffered some serious injuries.
They cycling thousands of miles from their start in China, crossing multiple countries before reaching France, Mike and Sara had faced many perils together.
They had crossed rough terrain in every weather imaginable, fixing punctures along the way and braving the freezing cold on mountainsides.

On their way to Paris they faced the worst peril of all, ordinary street traffic.
Between Reims and Paris, making their way on the bikes that had carried them so far, the worst happened when Mike was hit by a car sustaining a traumatic brain injury.
He was thrown metres high landing on his head. As a result of the accident he has suffered 5 haemorrhages to the brain, bleeding in the lungs, 2 fractured ribs, a broken nose and broken cheek bone. Mike now needs urgent rehabilitative care. It is the only way to get him fully back to himself.
Help us get Mike's future back for him.
