Main Beneficiary Charities 2024
Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle Fund – Cycle to fundraise for charities other than those nominated by the ROKCC and known as the “Main Beneficiary Charities”.
Breakthrough Cancer Research – is an Irish medical research charity which has a particular focus on cancers with a poor prognosis. 50 years ago, breast and prostate cancer survival rates were less than 50%. With research funding, they’re now over 85%. However, today some cancer survival rates are still less than 10%. That’s not a number we’re prepared to live with. With better treatments for all,we won’t have to. Breakthrough Cancer Research invested in life-changing research by bringing scientists, patients and clinicians together to discover and develop new, better kinder and smarter diagnostics and treatments for people with cancer in Ireland and internationally. The Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2024 will help fund two new projects in oesophageal (food pipe) and ovarian cancers and is helping our mission to make more survivors.
