Every year, Cannonball picks a charity to benefit from the event.

This year the group has chosen The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation as its partner charity.

It's a charity that funds and delivers in-home nursing care, respite support and end-of-life care for children who have highly complex and life-limiting medical conditions.

There are currently over 400 children under the care of Jack and Jill right across the country and the charity’s mission is to empower parents to care for their child at home.

Cannonball has already raised €1,538,602 for Irish Charities.
