Climb4Cancer25 raises over €6,000 for Irish Cancer Society
Back in May, a group of 16 climbed Carrauntoohil in Co Kerry to celebrate the 10th anniversary and the success of the original ‘Climb4Cancer 2015’ and to once again raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society.
The team got a chance to meet again and tackle the daunting challenge of the aptly named ‘Devil’s Ladder’, before summiting Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain in Ireland.
Back by Synergy Vehicle Refinishing Solutions Ireland Ltd (VRSI), the Top Part Group and Vizion Ireland, this year’s event successfully exceeded its target of raising €6,000 for the Irish Cancer Society for cancer research.
The final total raised by the Climb4Cancer 2025 was €6,032.
Frank Byrnes of Vizion Ireland, and one of the event organisers, said: “We are delighted to hand over these much-needed funds raised to The Irish Cancer Society on behalf of all those who took part and those who contributed so generously to Climb4Cancer 2025.
“This was really a very special 10-year celebratory event with many of those taking part in the original Climb4Cancer 2015 climbing again this year. It was great to see the support for both events from across the Irish motor trade and particularly the bodyshop sector.”
Fellow organiser Peter Daly of Synergy VRSI, added: “This is a cause that is very close to all our hearts. Everyone knows someone or has themselves been affected by cancer.
“This is for them to show our support and to remember those we have lost far too soon. It’s incredible to see how this event and others like it resonates with people.
“We cannot thank everyone enough for their donations and their kind words. A particular thank you to the Synergy and Top Part teams for their support as always and to Vizion Network Ireland for their sponsorship.”
