The annual Christmas Day Goal Mile in Killarney will once again unite the community in a shared effort to make a difference, both locally and globally.

This year, the event will raise funds for Goal, an international humanitarian organization, and the Kerry-Cork Healthcare service.
Goal’s 2024 Mile project is focused on providing lifesaving aid to refugees in Sudan. The funds raised will support the establishment of aid stations to provide food, water, and medical care to millions of people fleeing conflict and famine.
Locally, the funds raised will support the Kerry-Cork Healthcare service. This vital service provides transportation for individuals from North and South Kerry to attend medical appointments at University Hospital Cork and University Hospital Limerick.
The Goal Mile will take place on Christmas Day. All are welcome to participate, and every step taken will contribute to these important causes.
For more information or to get involved, please contact Anne Mangan at 087 6891218.

‘Pink Night’ was held in Kilcummin on January 10 in aid of Comfort for Chemo, bringing the entire community together for a very important cause.

The event, which was postponed from the previous week, had music from Rosie and Derry Healy and DJ Declan.

Pink Night has been running for over 20 years, and this marks the fourth year that Comfort for Chemo has been chosen as the beneficiary.

Speaking on the night, organiser Geraldine Pigott said the charity continues to resonate deeply with the community.

She said: “Cancer has touched so many families in one way or another, and Comfort for Chemo offers such practical support at a very difficult time,”

The event drew a strong turnout, and the organisers expressed gratitude to the many local businesses and individuals who donated prizes.

“The generosity we receive every year is incredible,” Geraldine added. “From sponsors to ticket sellers and everyone who comes through the door on the night, it really shows the strength of community spirit here.”

The Best Dressed awards on the night went to Noreen O’Neill & Mike Moloney.
