The Larriers Cycle'thon!
---------------------------------------
The Larriers of St. Laurence O' Toole's were at it again on Friday, raising money and awareness for The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland. Together with PWC, Localise and the girls' school, the Larriers of sixth class organised a 'cycle'thon', cycling the distance from Dublin to Cork and inviting the volunteers and people of PWC to help along the way. Altogether everybody raised €4,188.80! Thankfully nobody got lost and a great journey was enjoyed by all!
Well done Larriers!

  1. I have to admit to a bit of curiosity. What does "Larrier" mean? I find no reference in a dictionary.

  2. A 'Larrier' is a pupil of 'St. Laurence O' Toole's' who epitomises the spirit of the school, a pupil who is strong and proud in their actions and thoughts.

  3. I would like to know how the name came to be. It is my last name and everyone I've ever encountered with it is related. Email me at jhlarrier@gmail.com. I would certainly appreciate it.
