Mike is doing this in memory of his brother-in-law Ray Keane who sadly passed away in November. Mike’s just giving page is on Facebook if you woukd like to support his efforts.

THANK YOU

As always we are so grateful to you all for the wonderful support of the last number of years. This year has been a very hard one for all the wonderful charities in Kerry, with fundraisin­g events being cancelled. But you the people of Kerry and beyond continue to come up with ways of fundraisin­g and the donations are overwhelmi­ng in this current time. We are hugely grateful to you all.

We are all looking forward to the day we can get back to the Good Friday walks, the annual Coffee ornings and the Sunflower days just to mention a few.

Thank you all again for the continued support and we hope you all keep safe and well over the coming year.
