Claire Meenagh fundraising for National Breast Cancer Research Institute
I’ve decided to run a marathon—yes, on purpose—and all to raise money for a brilliant cause. I’ll be sweating, panting, and questioning my life choices for 26.2 miles, so the least you can do is laugh at my misery and throw a donation my way. Every pound you give makes my suffering slightly more meaningful. Let’s do some good while I do something ridiculous.
About National Breast Cancer Research Institute
Currently, 1 in 7 Irish women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and there are 3,507 cases diagnosed annually which is set to continue to increase.
These women are our mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends and neighbours. We know these women, they play major roles in our lives.
The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is a national charity that funds a comprehensive research programme at the University of Galway. We know that breast cancer research has improved the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes for those who develop the disease. We want to fund these research programmes to continue to impact the outcomes for those who develop the disease in the future.
The research team, in collaboration with universities and hospitals across the globe, focuses on the development & improvement of diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies, to drive real and measurable improvement in clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients.
