As you know we lost our beautiful wife, mum and sister on 21st April 2024. Having survived breast cancer in 2020, Mary was unfortunately diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in December 2022. Despite a strongly fought battle, she was told in March 24 that no further treatments that could be offered.

More research is required into all types of cancer and we hope that any money that is raised will help prevent others from losing their lives too early.

Your donations to this cause in Mary's memory are much appreciated by us all.

Love Michael, Niall, Emma, James, Marco and Kay
