Story

Even though we have completed our challenge our fundraising campaign runs on till 7th January 2014 (tricia's 1st anniversary). If you would still like to donate you can do so for another while yet so please if you can give anything at all, it will be greatly appreciated xx thank you

Well that is Slieve Donard conquered and cant believe its done. Massive task and super proud that of all of our 74 trekkers who completed it, it definitely was a hard climb. I would like to thank everyone who took part and everyone who donated. The weather was tough so if you feel for us and haven't yet donated to our cause please do so if you can xxx

Only 6 days left to our challenge and would love to raise a significant amount of money for cancer patients. ........

Only £175 to reach my target and 5 days left to raise it. xxxxx

2 weeks today and hopefully we will all be safely back down the mountain. Can't wait now just hope all goes smoothly. If you haven't already donated please don't forget, everything counts and it all adds up. Just give what you can...thank you so much for your generosity. xx

Hi everyone it is less than 3 weeks to go !

Thank you to everyone who came to our first fundraiser on sunday, it was a brilliant night and it looks like we raised just over £1000. Will keep you all posted.

Thank you everyone for all your donations to date. We completed our fundraiser on 30th june in bogans with well known rock n roll / blues singer/guitarist johnny Gallagher and the boxtie band and had a great night. Still training hard dont know if im getting any fitter but I will keep going.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are raising money for the Friends of the Cancer Centre, who cared so passionately during the time Tricia was in their care. We hope to raise a lot of money to show our appreciation for all they did for Tricia and us too. We now have over 90 trekking Slieve Donard mountain in memory of her. Please donate generously as it is going to an amazing cause. 

What 'Friends' Do

 

 In 2013 around 11,000 local people will hear the news that they have cancer.  While, increasingly, there are positive outcomes ahead, we understand that this remains a hugely daunting diagnosis.  We know, too, that there's a tough journey ahead.... which is why we're here to help.

Friends of the Cancer Centre exists to add to the superb care already available at Northern Ireland's Centre of Excellence.  Guided by the Centre's medical, social work and research teams plus outreach services across Northern ireland, we fund key posts, support crucial research, buy equipment, provide facilities and patient comforts... we even support the 'hotel' which exists right here in the hospital complex for patients and families who live far from the hospital but who need regular treatment.  We are flexible and fast and we work hard and creatively to deliver appropriate help where its needed... and when it's needed.

We're called 'Friends' for a reason!

People depend on 'Friends' and 'Friends' depends on donations.  We can't do any of our important work without you and people like you.
