Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Catherine Kingston was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2013. Throughout the next four years she endured surgeries and many cycles of chemotherapy but had some good periods of feeling well in between. During this time she continued to shower her family with every ounce of love in her heart and helped them to come to terms with her terminal diagnosis. She helped countless people on her journey.

She was a counsel to others beginning chemo and her own chemotherapy sessions would be spent comforting those around her and giving them encouragement and, of course, a laugh. Her ambition was to spread awareness of the often vague symptoms of ovarian cancer and empower women to get to know their bodies better, therefore potentially catching this disease at an earlier and more treatable stage.

Ovacare were a great source of support and a great source of knowledge for Catherine at this time. Their coffee mornings bring people fighting ovarian cancer, and their families, together to talk about their journey and their information days on research, diet, complimentary therapies etc. give invaluable glimmers of hope for the future.

This would have been year five of our annual OvaCare Fundraiser in DeBarras Folk Club, Clonakilty, but Covid has put a halt to any gatherings. Instead, I will do a solo live stream of a few songs in the hopes of raising funds for such a great charity. Every year the local community have been incredibly supportive and for that we are truly grateful.
