On 3rd October, I’ll be running a half marathon to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society. Cancer is something that has had a personal impact on my family. My dad sadly passed away from prostate cancer around seven years ago. While I’ve never been much of a fundraiser, this is something that feels particularly meaningful to me and is a cause I’m very happy to support. The Irish Cancer Society provides vital support to people affected by cancer and their families, while also funding research and working towards better prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Training for a half marathon is a challenge in itself, but knowing that I’m doing it for a cause that means a lot to me gives me even more motivation to get across that finish line. Any donation, big or small, would be hugely appreciated and will help support the Irish Cancer Society in the work they do for people and families affected by cancer. Thank you for your support. ❤️

About Irish Cancer Society

Cancer is the most common cause of death in Ireland with more than 9,000 people dying each year. That's almost 25 people dying from cancer every day across Ireland. An average of 1 person every hour. However, thanks to earlier detection, improved care and targeted treatments, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Today, there are 200,000 cancer survivors in Ireland. The Irish Cancer Society are working towards a future where nobody dies from cancer, and everyone affected by the disease will have access to world class treatment and support. Typically receiving only 5% of income from the Government, your support helps provide key services to ensure no one has to face cancer alone and funds vital cancer research with over €30 million invested since 2010.
