Story

Some of you already know that myself and my family have been fundraising for this charity for years after losing my dad to Oesophageal Cancer. The symptoms of this particular cancer are such common things, often overlooked. We fundraise both to raise awareness of this disease and to help raise vital funds to support research. Any donations are hugely appreciated ❤️

Oesophageal Cancer is a complex and tricky cancer, affecting approximately 450 people in Ireland annually, that's grandparents, mums, dads, brothers, sisters, favourite aunts, uncles, or friends whose lives are forever changed, on diagnosis. I'm kickstarting January by taking on this 20-day challenge to help raise funds for pioneering research that's helping save lives.Please donate and support my Give It Up, Take It Up challenge for OCF.Thank you.
