The Ennis Friary (Mainistir na hInes) was a Francisian Friary founded in 1240AD. Only this east end of the church still survives in tact from that early period.
In 2003, my son bicycled across the USA and then discovered weeks later that he had
cancer. (He emerged from treatments healthy in 2004.) He inspired me to start biking, and in 2005 I raised over $15,000 for cancer research by making my own trans-America bike trip (achives under March and April 2005). I now work at a bike store but continue to go on long-distance bike trips, both in the US and internationally.
