Kerry Way Walk makes great strides for cancer research

The Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk, which took place across stunning Kerry Way trails in July, was once again a tremendous success, with over 200 walkers from counties all over Ireland participating, and collectively raising an amazing €62,508 towards cancer research programmes at Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC).

Kerry Way Walk makes great strides for cancer research

The Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk is a 70km fundraising event that has gone from strength to strength in the past seven years, contributing over €500,000 to CCRC, which will help researchers to translate lab discoveries into new cancer treatment opportunities for poor prognosis and incurable cancers.

At the recent presentation of funds raised from the event, Dr Declan Soden, CCRC general manager, led a minute’s silence for everyone who has lost loved ones to the disease, which takes the lives of 7,500 people annually in Ireland.
