Cúnamh Iveragh - Virtually Walking Home

Hi lads, I have decided to start a small fundraiser for Cúnamh            Iveragh.

Cúnamh Iveragh is set in South West Kerry and it supports children and young adults with special intellectual needs. It is made up of parents and friends of these special people and down through the years it has provided many facilities and supports which has made life easier for them. Cúnamh’s primary aim is to keep these facilities in our local area as we feel that our children should have the choice of living locally if they so desire.

Cúnamh Iveragh have lost out on massive funding without the ring of Kerry cycle this year and as it stands they have nowhere to facilitate people over the age of 18 with intellectual disabilities in south kerry. At present this group is in the process of fundraising for an extension to the existing facility. To date they have raised €230,000 and require €450,000. 

For this fundraiser I plan to virtually walk from my house here in Celbridge to my own home in Portmagee, Kerry (333km) during the month of June.  I know this is only a small gesture but I hope that it will raise more than for them than just a donation myself. Cúnamh Iveragh is close to my heart as my sister Aoife has Down Syndrome and she turns 24 this month. Any small gesture would be really appreciated. I will upload my progress throughout the month - please give any contribution you can, it is such a worthy cause and something a lot of people don’t know about.  Many thanks in advance.
