Tom Crean Dingle Peninsula Challenge 2022

The 2022 Tom Crean Dingle Peninsula Challenge

Organisers: Kieran O Callaghan, Patrick O Sullivan, Daniel Bohan

This year we are joined by two other teams. Team Fox - John Fox, Michael Cassidy and Andy Conway. Team Kelly - Larry Kelly, Charlie Collins and Jonathan Foley.

Hi everyone! Together we plan to circumvent the Dingle Peninsula in approximately 24hrs by walking, kayaking, running, cycling, climbing, swimming and mountain biking on 10th September 2022 to raise funds for Down Syndrome Kerry and the Kerry Hospice Foundation.

These wonderful charities are voluntarily led and work tirelessly to improve the lives of all concerned in our communities.

Down Syndrome Kerry is financially independent of Down Syndrome Ireland and receives no funding from the state.

The Kerry Hospice Foundation provides funding and support for palliative care

services in Kerry. They are also completely voluntary. All the money raised in the

county is spent locally.

So far, we have raised nearly €60,000 for different charities over the last four years. We hope you can continue supporting us in any way possible for this year's adventure. It is very much appreciated. All the monies raised will go to these very deserving charities.
