"Just to say a big thank you to all for the wonderful success of the 3 day walking event over the week end. We enjoyed it thoroughly and were delighted to be part of such a great occasion. It is now firmly in the diary for the future, with the aim of getting more of our friends involved for such a worthy cause."
"No event runs smoothly without the many hours of dedicated preparation and hard work done by the organisers and for that please take a collective bow for a job well done. To you all, office staff, voluntary helpers, walk leaders and sweepers, water point angels and blister bandagers-many, many thanks."
"Another great weekend walking in Kenmare. Well done to all involve in organizing this event."
"Thanks a million for the nice walks and the good care received throughout, looking forward to next year!!."
"Well done we did it!!"
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year’s Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk 2010. Check out this years photos in the Photos Tab above. Through your continuous support and fundraising we are hoping to raise much needed funds for Cork Cancer Research Centre to continue with the development of new cancer treatments.

On behalf of the patients and staff at Cork Cancer Research Centre, a huge thanks!
Remember you can still continue to raise sponsorship until early September. We are hoping to reach our target of €100,000 so all efforts of achieving this are gratefully appreciated. The Centre does not have any source of annual state funding and therefore is extremely reliant on the voluntary efforts made by the public and all our fundraising events.
Many thanks again for a memorable event and we look forward to seeing all the familiar faces and your new recruits for the Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk 2011!!.
