What cyclists and walkers are contributing to:
This year we are hoping to exceed a total of half a million euros raised over the three years of the BDO Get BACk Challenge.  Over the past two years the funds raised from the event have been donated to Cancer Care in the Mid-West in addition to funding Sporting Disadvantaged children.

Cancer Care
Nearly €200,000 has been donated to Cancer Care equipment in the Mid-West Regional Hospital in addition to funding hospice home care programmes in Milford Hospice, Limerick, Cahercalla Hospice, Ennis, Co. Clare and The North Tipperary Hospice. 

Sporting Disadvantaged
A total of €100,000 has been contributed to a series of programmes that benefit children from socially disadvantaged areas.  In addition to these programmes almost 4,000 children have benefited from grants provided to clubs and
