Story
Hi I am doing the 50 miles in May for Action Cancer, they are an amazing charity that provides vital support and detection services to people impacted by cancer.
Thank you for reading and for your kind donation.

Action Cancer — Northern Ireland’s leading local cancer charity — is been dedicated to supporting people across the country who are at risk of, or impacted by, a cancer diagnosis. Founded in 1973 by Dr George Edelstyn, the charity has continued to grow and evolve as the demand for its cancer prevention, detection, and support services has increased over the last five decades.
Our mission is simple: to save lives and support local people affected by cancer. All of Action Cancer’s services are free to those who need them but cost the charity £4 million every year to deliver. These services include our life-saving early detection breast screening clinic, skin cancer screening clinic, therapeutic support for individuals and families living with a cancer diagnosis, and a wide range of health improvement programmes.
By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping Action Cancer continue this vital work and ensure these services remain free for people across Northern Ireland.
