The success of annual Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle relies to a large extent on the efforts of volunteers.

The cycle committee, marshals, doctors, nurses, bike mechanics and all the volunteers you meet on the day will not be paid. (Although, we might slip them the odd ham sandwich and slice of brack!)

This is because the aim of the event is to raise as much as possible for the chosen charities and keep costs at a minimum.

There are a number of refreshment stops on the route of the cycle and each year, charities are nominated to take care of a particular stop. 

This year, Enable Ireland will be one of the charities responsible for the stop in Kenmare. We will be starting at 10am and will finish up at 7pm with upwards of 10,000 cyclists passing through.

We are looking for volunteers to help feed the masses! commit to doing a 4.5 hour shift (10am – 2.30 pm or 2.30pm to 7pm).

Having been involved both as a cyclist and as a volunteer, I can honestly say that volunteering is a huge amount of work - at times overwhelming and tiring but it's also great fun, an opportinuty to meet some fantastic characters, have an amazing experience and it certainly will makes you feel part of the cycle.

If you know someone who might be willing to come along and help please as them to contact me on 066 712 8220 or email sscally@enableireland.ie for details.  

We are also looking for qualified medical practitioners to help.

Thanks,
