☀️ Sunburn in childhood can increase the risk of skin cancer later in life.

Whether you're heading to the beach, the park, or spending time in the garden, protecting babies and children from the sun is essential, especially between 11am and 3pm from April to September - even on cloudy days.

☂️ Keep babies in the shade
👕 Dress children in loose, close-woven clothing
🧴 Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen with UVA & UVB protection to exposed skin
💦 Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and after swimming
🕶️ Choose wraparound sunglasses for UV eye protection
☀️ Remember: A tan is not protection - it's skin damage

Tomorrow is about more than the kilometres you’ll cycle. 🩵

As cyclists prepare for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle, our ambassador David Gillick David Gillick has one simple message: remember why you're taking part.

Every pedal stroke helps fund research into new, better, kinder, smarter treatments and diagnostics for people with cancer. So whether you're feeling excited, nervous, or wondering what you've signed up for, know that every kilometre is making a difference.

Thank you to everyone taking on tomorrow's challenge and to all the volunteers along the route. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way. 🚴
