We provide practical support and services to cancer patients and carers in Tyrone
Story
On September 11th 2019 our lives changed for ever when our mammy Rosaleen McNamee was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer stage 4, with very few symptoms. Mammy fought the best she could through Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy but she gained her wings on the 13th July 2020.
This month will see a year from we have lost one of the most important people in our lives.
We have come together as a family along with many friends to raise as much money as we can for “care for cancer” Omagh.
Unfortunately we had another member of our family suffer from cancer at the same time as mammy.
Statistics show that 1:2 of us will at some stage be diagnosed with cancer.
