<h3>Their goal is to bring a bit of cheer to peoples&#8217; lives and raise funds along the way &#8211; and that&#8217;s exactly what the Kerry Parents and Friends Biddy Group have done.</h3>
Just recently they presented a cheque totalling &euro;10,948.30 to The Kerry Parents &#038; Friends Association, Killarney with the money going to provide essential support services to adults with intellectual disabilities and their families throughout the county.
 The Kerry Parents &#038; Friends Biddy Group, which includes people from the greater Killarney area, has been going for 25 years and has raised approximately &euro;100k during that time.
 The Biddy Group travel the highways and byways of Kerry and beyond raising valuable funds for this worthy cause.
 &#8220;The past two years have been extremely challenging but a GoFundMe page was set up which enabled us to receive generous donations from the public,&#8221; Tim Kissane from the group told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &#8220;There&#8217;s about 15 in the group from all over Killarney. We do a bit dancing and singing to cheer people up. We have fine rigouts! The Kerry Parents &#038; Friends Biddy Group would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone for their continued support.&#8221;
 Their next day out will be St Brigid&#8217;s Day next February, he added.
