Story

Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on Cancer Focus NI it has paused most of our services for people affected by cancer and has postponed all of our fundraising events. As 90% of our income comes from fundraising alone, our funds are at a seriously low level- thats why we need you! Take part in the Pink Run walk or run challenge and help us to save Cancer Focus NI so we can continue to deliver vital services to cancer patients and their families across Northern Ireland.

Me, Polly Cochrane and Caitlin Calderwood are doing the Pink Run for Cancer Focus as all of our families have been devastated by the effects of cancer. My granny, Jean Thomson, lost her life to cancer in March 2021 and it is the hardest loss I have ever had to deal with. We all miss her every day and since this event is taking place on her birthday, we thought it was only right to raise money for this amazing cause! We hope the money raised can help many families like ours, and raise awareness of this terrible disease. Please donate whatever you can, we are extremely grateful! Thanks!
