Anthony O'Carroll is a member of the West Cork Motorcycle Club.
A special fundraising weekend is being organised in the North Kerry village of Ballyduff to support injured motorcycle racer Anthony O’Carroll and his family.
The event, scheduled for September 13-15, will feature appearances from some of Ireland’s top motorcycle racers.
Kevin Keyes, the current leader of the Masters Superbike Championship at Mondello Park, and Oisin Maher, the recently crowned Masters Super TwIn champion, are confirmed to attend the event.
A forum and question-and-answer session will be held on Saturday, September 14, hosted by Jim Halligan, the well-known motorcycle racing commentator.
The fundraising initiative was launched by a group of motorsport enthusiasts in North Kerry to help O’Carroll, who suffered severe injuries during a race in the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man in July. The Ballyduff man has been in the intensive care unit of the Walton Centre for Neuroscience in Liverpool since the accident and faces a long road to recovery.
The event will include a racing motorcycle exhibition, a classic car and rally car display, live music, and entertainment. A classic car run, a motorcycle ride-out, barbecues, a five-aside soccer tournament, and a 5km walk are also planned to cater to a wide range of participants.
The fundraising weekend aims to raise significant funds for O’Carroll and his family, providing them with much-needed support during this challenging time.
We would like members of the West Cork Motorcycle Club to show your support for Anthony and his family by attending the event.
Please keep Anthony in your thoughts & prayers.
If members have any ideas so that we could raise funds for Anthony & his family, please contact Conor Mac Carthy 087-9692627

Maybe we could arrange a ride out, not an organised bike run just a bunch of us as many as possible to spin down there. As we would make a contribution if it were an official bike run we could make the same contribution and present it to the family.
