After being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in early 2020, I was totally shocked. Luckily, the team in St James Hospital Dublin had detected the disease early and were able to set out a plan to send me on my way to recovery.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and next weekend I am running the 10km Virtual Great Pink Run and hoping to raise as much money as I can for both Breast Cancer Ireland and ÉIST Cancer Support Centre Carlow.

The work Breast Cancer Ireland do in research and awareness is so important in helping so many people get over this horrible disease and do relentless work to try and combat Breast Cancer.

ÉIST Cancer Support Centre Carlow provided me with a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen to during and after my treatment and I know they help so many others in our local area.

Any donations to these worthy causes would be greatly appreciated.

Thank very much,

Deirdre
