💙 18 DAYS UNTIL OUR CHALLENGE 💙

In just 18 days, the three of us will take on the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced — 175KM on the bike, followed by a non-stop 175KM run around the Ring of Kerry, all in support of Kerry Hospice Foundation. ❤️

But this isn’t really about the distance.
It’s about the people behind it.
The patients, the families, and everyone who needs support when life becomes incredibly difficult.

📍 25th September – 175KM CYCLE 🚴‍♂️
We will start in the morning outside the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney.

📍 26th September – 175KM NON-STOP RUN 🏃‍♂️
The run will begin in the morning from the same place, taking us around the Ring of Kerry.

🏁 27th September – FINISH
After 175KM on the bike and 175KM on foot, we will finish outside the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney on Sunday.

We know there will be pain. We know there will be moments when our bodies will want us to stop. But every kilometre will have a purpose. Every step will be for something bigger than ourselves.

We truly hope this challenge will mean something to people the way it means so much to us. If our journey inspires someone to donate, share our story, or simply stand behind us, then every difficult moment will be worth it. 🙏

📲 You can follow the entire journey on our social media.
Throughout the challenge, we’ll keep you updated and share our progress live as it happens.

18 days. 350KM. One purpose. One incredible cause. 💙

🙏 Together, we can make a difference.

One week has passed since the toughest challenge we’ve ever faced.

100 kilometres. Relentless heat. Countless moments where our bodies wanted to stop.

But we didn’t do this alone.

Every message, every share, every donation, every word of encouragement carried us forward when our legs no longer could. You reminded us why we started this journey in the first place.

This run was dedicated to everyone fighting their own battles. To those who keep going despite the pain. To those we’ve lost, and to those who still need hope.

This was never just about running 100km. It was about proving that together, we can make a difference. Every small act of kindness creates a bigger impact than we often realise.

Our biggest challenge is still ahead, and we’ll keep moving forward with you by our side.

Thank you for believing in us and supporting the Kerry Hospice Foundation. Every donation—big or small—brings us one step closer to making a real difference.

Let’s keep going. Let’s keep believing. Let’s make a change together. 💙

Please share our journey, follow our page, and if you can, donate through the link in our bio on Instagram and Facebook.

100KM. One hundred reasons to stop. One reason to keep going.

Yesterday wasn’t about pace, PBs, or chasing a finish time.

It was about showing up when the temperature was relentless, the humidity was draining every ounce of energy, and every kilometre demanded more than the last.

There were moments when our bodies wanted us to stop. Moments when the heat felt overwhelming and the finish line seemed impossibly far away. But this challenge was never meant to be easy.

Together, we kept moving forward. Step by step. Aid station by aid station. Kilometre by kilometre.

After 100 kilometres, we crossed the line exhausted, humbled, and proud. Not because of the time on the watch, but because we refused to quit when conditions were at their toughest.

But this run was about something far bigger than us.

Every painful step reminds us why we started this journey — to support the incredible work of the Kerry Hospice Foundation. Many families face some of the hardest moments of their lives while relying on the care, compassion, and dignity that hospice services provide.

If our challenge can make even a small difference to someone going through those difficult times, then every blister, every sore muscle, and every tough kilometre is worth it.

So we’re asking you to join us. Not by running 100 kilometres, but by standing with us for a cause that touches so many lives. Together, we can help ensure that those who need hospice care receive the support they deserve when they need it most.

Because this challenge has never been about running.

It’s about people.

It’s about community.

It’s about turning pain into purpose.

Let’s do this together. For those we have lost. For those still fighting. For every family who needs hope, care, and support.

Where Pain Meets Purpose. ❤️
