Ben Cranley fundraising for Breakthrough Cancer Research
Hello, I'm running the Dublin Marathon for Breakthrough Cancer Research in memory of my Dad (JP, JohnPaul). I lost my Dad to brain cancer in October of last year after he battled for 5 years. Treatment from his type of cancer hasn't changed in 20 years. I would love to support its research to help improve both treatments and outcomes and to one day find a cure in his honour. This charity does some incredible work and has already helped the lives of many cancer patients. Any donations, no matter how big or small, would be massively appreciated. I'd like to think he would be proud, but he would probably just say I've gone mad 😂😂😂 Thank you so much!
