This September, former Ireland Rugby Captain, Rory Best will be taking on a mammoth 10 day challenge to help children across Ireland cope with the impact of a cancer diagnosis.
Generously sponsored by Kingsbridge Private Healthcare and The Ardonagh Group.
To mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Rory will be shining a light on the experiences of children and young people impacted by cancer by walking a mile in their shoes or in this case, walking an epic 180 miles from our therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge in Co. Down to the site of our new short break centre in Co. Mayo.
Rory's ambitious trek will see him walk through a number of counties including his home county of Armagh as well as Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, Galway to name a few. Rory is passionate about raising funds for Cancer Fund for Children who offer support to children across Ireland and aims to raise an amazing £500,000 but needs your help!
