Action Cancer is Northern Ireland’s leading local cancer charity and we work to save lives and support people affected by cancer in Northern Ireland Action Cancer relies heavily on donations from the public and business communities in Northern Ireland to provide a range of vital, life-saving services including early detection clinics, health promotion, research, counselling and complementary therapies. Every year we need to raise £3 million to keep our services going. Services are available regionally through offices in Derry, Newry and shortly Magherafelt, on the BIG BUS and at Action Cancer House in Belfast. Early detection saves lives.

My story

I am 18 years old and studying for my A levels in Upper Sixth, Methodist College, Belfast

My grandmother, a lifelong non smoker, rapidly succumbed to lung cancer three years ago. I want to help raise funds to search for solutions to this terrible disease

In June I was given the opportunity of raising money for Action Cancer by running in the 2009 New York Marathon

Despite a busy schedule I resolved to complete this immense challenge and hope my effort could benefit a most deserving cause

My parents have stumped up £500 which covered travel and accomodation, all subsequent donations go directly to Action Cancer

On Sunday 1st November 2009 I completed the New York Marathon in 4 hours 13 minutes

If you would still like to support my campaign there is still the opportunity

So please, dig deep and donate now, any contribution will help

If you could also foward this link to friends&family I would be very grateful

Thank you for considering this
