Walk 30 Miles in September

The Irish Cancer Society needs your support!

I am walking 30 miles in September for the Irish Cancer Society in memory of my mother, Maura Joy, who died on 21st February, 2025. 

Her faithful dog, Dancer, will walk with me.

Every donation, big or small, helps cancer patients and their families.

Thank you for your support.
