Antrim father, son and grandkids cycle 377 miles from Kerry to fundraise for climate action

Three generations of the Hanson family from Antrim cycled 377 miles from Kerry to fundraise for Tearfund and Jubilee’s work to tackle the causes and effects of climate change.

John Hanson, his son Jonny and Jonny’s 10 and 11-year-old children, Bethany and Joshua, took on the challenge to mark the 40th anniversary of their grandad’s 13,000 mile round the world cycle from Dungannon with friend John Rodgers.

A book about that epic journey in 1981 and 1982, which raised £50,000 for Tearfund, is on display to this day in the Ulster Transport Museum.
