Pedal The Planet

15,00

Read the inspiring story of the founder of FinalWhistle.ie who pedalled 30,000 kms around the planet in order to raise awareness of positive mental health, suicide prevention and became the most unlikely winner of the World Cycle Race, the longest endurance sporting event on the planet.

Description

In October 2010, stuck in a negative work environment, severely overweight, single, and feeling the world and would be better off without him, Breifne Earley made the decision to end his own life.

Less than five years later he was first across the finish line of the longest endurance sports event in the world, the 30,000km long World Cycle Race.

This is the extraordinary and inspirational story of how one man stepped back from the brink of suicide, redesigned his life and then spent sixteen months cycling through 27 countries on 5 continents with 3 robberies, 3 crashes and 44 flat tyres to become a living, breathing example of the life-saving message “It’s okay not to feel okay.”
