Why I'm Fundraising for Relay for Life UCD

Cancer affects so many lives, and over the past year, it has become even more personal for me. My family has experienced first-hand the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, but we’ve also seen the incredible impact of support services along the way. Thankfully, my mother is now almost in remission, and I’m more determined than ever to help others going through the same journey.

That’s why I’m taking part in Relay for Life UCD to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society. The money raised from this event will help provide vital support services for cancer patients and their families—services like Night Nurses, Volunteer Drivers, counselling sessions, and the Freephone Support Line. It will also help fund life-changing cancer research to improve treatments and outcomes for future patients.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Together, we can ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.

Thank you so much for your support!
