on

Down Syndrome Kerry is one of the Munster based charities that will benefit from funds raised during this year’s Tour de Munster charity cycle.

This funding will be used to support vital services and facilities for people with Down Syndrome in the county.

In total, the tour raised over €442,000 with some cyclists raising funds for other charities near and dear to their hearts, including West Cork Down Syndrome Support Group, West Cork Jesters and Enable Ireland.

Over 120 cyclists embarked on a challenging 600km journey through the six counties of Munster, raising funds for various charities, including DSI. The Tour de Munster has been a long-standing supporter of DSI, and this year's event has made a significant impact on the lives of people with Down syndrome in Kerry.

Enda O’Brien of Down Syndrome Kerry said:: “Thanks to the Tour de Munster, we can continue to provide essential services and supports for our members with Down syndrome in Kerry. We are incredibly grateful for the cyclists, volunteers, and the public who made this possible.”

The funds raised will help DSI Kerry to provide a range of services, including early intervention programs, educational support, and social activities.
