Sheila's campaign against cancer

Donation protected

Sheila and I always trusted in the fact that mankind and science succeeds in finding a cure or a way to halt otherwise lethal illnesses and diseases, like for example measles, polio, diabetes, HIV or most recently Covid.
Our mantra that kept us going was to “hang in there, and there will soon be some new therapy or medication that will buy us some more time”. And truth to be told, in the many years during which Sheila courageously fought her cancer, over time she was offered various new products and strategies which hadn’t been available at the time of her diagnosis.
So the good news is that there are many indications to cancer one day will be an illness that we might be able to live with or even to cure.
We’re however not there just yet, cancer is still the second biggest killer in the world after cardiovascular diseases, and it will still take huge efforts and much more funding to get there. Even though it will come too late for Sheila, every effort is necessary to bring the day closer where millions of people will be able to live a full and meaningful life.
80% of all funds raised will go to Irish Cancer Society,
20% to the Milford Hospice in Limerick
