By Sean Moriarty
The Tour de Munster charity cycle will pass through Killarney tomorrow (Saturday).
Over the last 21 years, the charity cycle, led by Tour de France Green Jersey legend Sean Kelly has raised a staggering €3.4 million for various charities.
The Down Syndrome Ireland Munster branch is the chosen charity for this year’s event which got underway yesterday in Cork.
Today (Friday), the cyclists made their way from Limerick to Tralee. The third stage of the event takes in the Dingle Peninsula and will finish in Kenmare.
Tomorrow (Saturday), the group of cyclists are expected in Milltown between 3pm, and 3.30pm.
They will pass through Aghadoe around 3.45pm before an extended stop at Deenagh Lodge – the café there is operated by Down Syndrome Ireland – between 4pm and 4.30pm.
“We are really looking forward to welcoming the 21st edition of the Tour de Munster charity cycle to Kerry,” Kevin Griffin, Chairman of Down Syndrome Kerry and President of Down Syndrome Ireland said. “As a past participant of the tour, I appreciate the huge amount of hard work and dedication that goes into preparing for this 600km route. Here in Kerry, we can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support to improve services and facilities for our members with Down Syndrome.”
