Irish Cancer Society & IRGT

My name is Jamie costine and I'm fundraising for the Irish Cancer Society (90%) & Irish retired greyhound trust (10%).

The mascot for my fundraiser is a greyhound called Scooby doo (racing name : ballymac jazz)

He will race with 100% of his prize money being donated and advertise this Go Fund Me page so people have a space in which to donate.

In approximately one year from now I will hold a benefit night to finish off my fundraiser (Date & location to be confirmed ).

In 2015 I was diagnosed with a Synovial Sarcoma in my upper left arm.

I received Chemotherapy, radiotherapy & surgery as my treatment plan and have continued to suffer from chronic pain ever since my treatment.

I found training my own few greyhounds to be extremely beneficial to both my mental & physical health.

I have always wanted to give back to the Irish Cancer Society which will receive 90% of the money raised and also to donate 10% to the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust that do fantastic work as the greyhound industry in Ireland is continuing to lead the way with the welfare of the greyhounds coming above all else.

Scooby doo (ballymac jazz) is under the care of 2 vetinary clinics which have volunteered free care and he will be trained by myself, a cancer survivor.

He will remain as a pet in my family after his racing career ends and hopefully he will have a happy, healthy career.

As he races he will belong to anyone that has been affected by Cancer, he is all of our dog to follow & support on his journey. I will take him to as many greyhound tracks in Ireland as I can for people to meet and hopefully donate to two very worthy causes.

All donations welcome.

Cheers
