Thousands to get on their bikes for Kerry charities

CYCLING enthusiasts have been urged to get on their bikes over the coming weeks in an attempt to help raise vital funds for a string of essential Kerry charities.

The call has been made by representatives of the annual Radio Kerry Ring of Kerry Cycle, which provides key financial support every year to some of the county’s most important organisations.

Since the event began in 1983 it has managed to raise more than €3.5 million in funds for local groups, with €451,668 raised last year alone during the one-day cycle.
