Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In March 2013 my daughter Christine was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She has undergone an urgent operation to remove the tumour followed by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and continues to fight this devastating disease with every day bringing its own challenges.

Christine and our family would really appreciate your support for The Brain Tumour Charity and cancer research as this terrible disease touches most families at some time in their lives. Every year the charity fund pioneering research into better ways to earlier diagnose and treat brain tumours and have given fantastic support to our family as they do for so many others.

Members of the Kernan Valley Flying Club and myself intend to fly around the coast of Ireland (weather permitting) on the Easter weekend from the 3rd to 6th April with as many aircraft and crews as possible.

Our journey of almost 1000 miles will start at Newcastle Co Down and fellow the coast clockwise round Ireland, stopping at as many airfields along the way as possible to accept donations and raise awareness of the increase in cancer in UK and Ireland. So if you see an aircraft overhead think DONATE!

All donations from this Justgiving page will go straight to Irish Cancer Society. All donations will be gratefully received by them to provide care in the local community.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
