The Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk is a 3 day hill-walking event that takes place towards the end of July each year in Kerry, to raise funds for Cork Cancer Research Centre. This year the event took place on Friday July 24th, Saturday July 25th and Sunday July 26th.

For the 2009 event, We based the walk in one central town rather than previous years where we moved between four different towns. The three days of guided walks started and finished each day in Kenmare and incorporated some of the Kerry Way trails.

Our team walked 60 miles in the Seattle 3-Day Walk for the Cure in 2009 and had an amazing experience. Thanks to our sponsors, colleagues, friends and family for helping us raise $10K to support the cause. We’re looking for sponsors and building our team to do it all over again in 2010. Help us reach our goal!

My name is Will, and I plan on walking across America from the Atlantic to the Pacific. My goal is to raise $100,000 for the Cancer Research Institute. I will be carrying a laptop and camcorder along the journey to record videos and upload them regularly right here on YouTube. To find out more about my mission, visit my website at www.williamacrossamerica.com

In 1999 my father was diagnosed with cancer, so I’ve decided to help fight the good fight by raising money for the scientific and medical community on the front lines in the war on cancer.

If I can reach 10,000 people to donate just $10 bucks each to the Cancer Research Institute, then I will have reached my fundraising goal!

Help me by spreading the word! Go to my website or drop me a line-

By the way, the person I was talking about at the start of the video was Peter Jenkins, who walked across America from New York to the Oregon coast starting in 1973. He wrote a bestselling novel about his journey.

This and all future videos will be subtitled/closed captioned in English.
