KERRY GAA stars Diarmuid O’Connor and Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh traded their football boots for bicycles on Wednesday afternoon as they helped local cancer support charity, Recovery Haven Kerry, kickstart their recruitment campaign for this year’s Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle (ROKCC).
Recovery Haven has been chosen as a Tier Two beneficiary of the renowned charity cycle which takes place on July 5 and are now calling on the public to sign up on their behalf.
The charity was thrilled to accept an invitation from Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa owners to use their beautiful location as the backdrop to launch their recruitment drive, with ROKCC PRO Cathal Walshe and GAA stars Diarmuid and Louise taking time out of their busy schedules to lend their support.

Recovery Haven PR & Marketing officer, Marisa Reidy, said that while several people have already signed up to cycle for the charity since registration opened, they really want to spread the word about the charity’s involvement again this year and explain just how much people’ s support means to their service users.
“We are so thrilled that people have already signed up to cycle for Recovery Haven – but it’s really wonderful to see Diarmuid, Louise and Cathal here with us to help us spread the word even further,” she said.
“The main aim of this campaign is to show people that when they sign up to cycle for Recovery Haven, all their fundraising efforts will come directly to us, allowing us to continue to offer free supports to those dealing with cancer.
“The feedback from clients is truly touching and quite emotional – from people saying that Recovery Haven was their light at the end of a very dark tunnel; that we helped them to develop a resilience they never imagined; to someone who described Recovery Haven as their lifeline when they were sinking.
“This is so wonderful to hear, so what we want to stress is that those signing up for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle in aid of Recovery Haven are contributing directly to that. It’s our amazing supporters who allow us to make that difference and that is what makes this event so, so special.”
