Story

Hi Everyone I’ve decided to set up this fundraising page to raise funds for the Irish cancer society as it’s been a charity I’ve learned a lot about the last few months and the hard work and dedication they do for so many families and the help and support they provide, doing it in memory of those special loved ones who fight the tough battle everyday and those who fought so hard💛I’ll be running my first half marathon in June along with some friends and colleagues. All donations however small would greatly be appreciated and thanks in advance to everyone for  supporting me💛

As more people turn to us for information, support and advice and as new needs emerge, we are responding by extending our Nurseline hours and extending the phone service to a general information & advice line to support those with non-medical issues. We have introduced remote counselling sessions for cancer patients that are unable to access face-to-face services. There is a 20% increase in demand for the Night Nursing service which is operating as normal for now. Our dedicated volunteer driver service continues to take cancer patients to their chemotherapy treatments.Unfortunately with Covid-19 having forced the cancellation of our major events and the closure of our charity shops, your support is needed now, more than ever. Your donation can make a real and lasting impact.

About the charity

We are a community of patients, survivors, volunteers, supporters, health and social care professionals and researchers. Together we are transforming the experiences and outcomes of people affected by cancer through our advocacy, support services and research.
