Annie murphy fundraising for ARC Cancer Support Centre

The day before Christmas Eve I was diagnosed with cancer in my breast and in the lymph nodes under my arm. Cancer has forced me to have the most difficult conversation of my life with my daughter Ella who is 14 and my family. We lost my beautiful sister in law Carmel Murray in March 2022 to cancer. She lives on in our hearts every single day and always will. The charity ARC offer free support to people going through a cancer diagnosis and their loved ones. The thing that most impressed me is that they offer free support to children. On Sunday 30th of March my husband and a bunch of other amazing people will run the Dublin half marathon to raise funds for ARC. I want to thank each and every one of you for doing this. So if you have a spare euro please support them so that ARC can continue to do the great work they do. Thank you so much to everyone who has and continues to support me throughout my journey, your kindness is very much appreciated! Take care. Annie murphy
