ROKCC Central Fund and the Tier 2 beneficiary Charities

The ROKCC is a registered charity in Ireland  and its primary purpose is fundraising for other charities by organising the annual Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle and its alternative virtual 170km My Way event. Without participating cyclists, we could not have distributed €18.3m to very worthy causes since 1982. In 2023 there are 5 main beneficiary charities and 7 Tier 2 beneficiary charities. The main beneficiary charities have their own registration form whilst the Tier 2 charties are listed below when you answer Yes, I am a Tier 2 Charity Supporter.

On behalf of all our beneficiary charities, we thank you for participating and contributing to their projects.  

iDonate, our online fundraising partner, will help you set up an online fundraising page to raise much needed funds for onward distribution to our various charity partners.

The ROKCC operates a strict NO REFUND policy.​ Please cycle safely.

Breakthrough Cancer Research

Breakthrough Cancer Research is an Irish medical research Charity focused on cancer. We work to significantly impact the number of people who can survive this disease. We invest in world-class research in Ireland to impact the quality of life for people with cancer and save lives. We are particularly focused on improving outcomes for those cancers, which are poorly served by current treatment options.

Breakthrough Cancer Research is working hard to make sure our family, friends and communities have access to the best treatments for cancer and never have to hear the words, there is no hope.

Thank you for choosing Breakthrough Cancer Research as your designated Charity for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2023. If you have any queries or need any support in your fundraising, please email mary@breakcancer.ie. We are very grateful for your support.

CRITICAL

Emergency Medical Response

We provide pre-hospital emergency care to critically ill and injured patients in their local communities in both rural and urban areas in Ireland, with experienced Volunteer Emergency Medicine Doctors and Medical Responders on the ground. Their rapid response vehicles are kitted out with specialist medical equipment including defibrillators, chest compression systems and suction units as well as advanced medical and trauma kits. This allows the medics to perform complex - often lifesaving - medical procedures, wherever and whenever they’re called upon.

The ROKCC can help us to kit out our volunteers so they can continue their life saving work. It costs an average of €25,000 to establish an Advanced level Volunteer Doctor in the community and €120,000 to put a new Critical Care response vehicle on the road.

Thank you for choosing CRITICAL Emergency Medical Response as your designated Charity for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2023. If you have any queries or need any support in your fundraising, please email info@communityairambulance.ie. We are very grateful for your support.

Valentia Hospital

Valentia Hospital has been providing various levels of care to the people of Valentia Island and surrounding areas since 1871. There has been no break in the service we provide in 152 years. We recently completed a large extension to our existing building which comprised of 22 bedrooms, all in compliance with the most up to date HIQA standards. We need to install a generator capable of providing power to our now larger building and complete ancillary works. We also need to begin refurbishment of the older section of the building which we hope to complete in the autumn of 2023.

Thank you for choosing Valentia Hospital as your designated Charity for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2023. If you have any queries or need any support in your fundraising, please email secretary@vchwa.com. We are very grateful for your support.
