Cannonball Ireland is the annual gathering of supercar enthusiasts who drive in convoy on this adventurous and picturesque road trip around Ireland, raising funds for charity.
Good fun for a good cause, four-wheeled masterpieces and their roaring melody is what it is all about. The most prestigious and unique cars of the world will be parading through the breathtaking landscapes and charming cities and towns of the 2011 route; making this the most memorable motorised masquerade you have ever seen.
There will be no winner except for the Barretstown Camp Foundationand the thousands of kids who benefit it’s program every year.
Barretstown is a specially-designed camp that provides therapeutic recreation programmes for children with serious illnesses, and their families.
It was founded by Hollywood actor Paul Newman in 1994 and modelled on his renowned Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut, USA. Excellent, unobtrusive medical supervision helps children with cancer and other diseases forget illness, learn to have fun and rebuild their confidence and self-esteem. Our programmes take place at a fairytale castle in the beautiful foothills of Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains.
We serve children affected by serious illnesses – primarily cancer and serious blood diseases – from Ireland, Britain and throughout Europe, and their families.
