Hi all.

Cancer is a cause close to many of our hearts and many of us have been personally affected by it or know someone who has.

The Irish Cancer Soceity do incredible work for both cancer patients and families of people affected by cancer.

This month I will be taking part in Battle for Cancer (a 90 minute exercise challenge) in the RDS Dublin with friends in an effort to do our part to raise money for The Irish Cancer Society so they can continue their great work!

I will be thinking most especially of my dear Dad Ed aka Edzer while doing this who was affected by cancer 20 years ago. And on behalf of my family. I know he would have loved to take part in this challenge himself!

Any donation no matter how small is appreciated and all funds go directly to The Irish Cancer Society.

Thanks so much.

Some statistics on cancer in Ireland:

Cancer is the most common cause of death in Ireland with more than 9,000 people in Ireland dying each year. That's almost 25 people dying from cancer every day across Ireland. An average of 1 person every hour.

The Irish Cancer Society are working towards a future where nobody dies from cancer, and everyone affected by the disease will have access to world class treatment and support.
