My Personal Message

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page.

The National Breast Cancer Research Institute charity is a very worthy cause and an illness close to my heart.

As most know I am a young(ish) mother of 2 boys and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at Christmas in 2005.
During the last 2 years surgeries, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone interventions have been companions.
During the darker moments I always hoped that when I got to remission status I would like to do something to help...to complete the circle.

No better charity than one which is seeking the answers to a disease that will affect 1 in 3 of us in our lifetime.
I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity. I know money doesn't grow on trees, so any amount is greatly appreciated.

There will be some activities over the next few months to help achieve my goal and all idea's are welcome!

Please read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Ashley

Wow! What a fantastic response I am overwhelmed, keep spreading the news and thank you to everyone for supporting such a worthy cause



About my charity

Breast Cancer Research ( NBCRI ) National Breast Cancer Research Institute
The key objective of the NBCRI is to conduct relevant, ethical research into the biology of breast cancer to determine the cause of this disease and improve the treatment for patients. The NBCRI also works to raise awareness of breast cancer and fundraise to provide improved breast cancer services for women throughout Ireland.

Under the directorship of Professor Michael Kerin and his team, the research work of the NBCRI is now recognised internationally and we collaborate with a number of  research facilities throughout the world. The NBCRI team have recently made a world class research breakthrough and we hope that within a few years a simple blood test will be capable of detecting breast cancer. Your support will assist us to continue our valuable work and progress this exciting research.
