Two years after receiving a lifesaving kidney transplant, well-known local man Matt McAuliffe (55) from Ballynoe is preparing to take on the iconic Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle on July. He’ll be joined on the route by his youngest son, Cathal, aged 19.
The pair are taking on the 170km scenic route in gratitude for Matt’s deceased kidney donor and support of the Irish Kidney Association, a cause that has been central to their family’s journey.
2025 will mark Matt’s fifth time taking part in the annual event, and his first time since being given a new lease of life.
