My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. The Cork Cancer Research Centre charity is a very worthy cause and we would very much appreciate your support in helping us to raise funds for this charity.

The C Team - Cancer Survivors is a very special and unique relay team. Each of the members is a survivor of cancer.

The team members are:
Dan Byrne (Mallow), Oesophegeal Cancer - rear right of photo
Joe Deane (Killeagh), Testicular Cancer - front left of photo
Joe Dineen (Cork), Prostate Cancer - rear centre of photo
John Quigley (Cork), Prostate Cancer - front right of photo
John Ryan (Cobh), Testicular Cancer - rear left of photo

The primary aims of the group are:
1) To raise the profile and awareness of cancer survivors. We're still here and getting on with life. (It may not be easy, but, bugger it, we're dealing with it)
2) To show those facing cancer, whether diagnosed or supporting someone who is dealing with cancer, that we’re getting on with life… and they can too
3) To make contact with other cancer survivors who might join with us in future events and finally
4) (Maybe) raise a bit of money, though this is not a core aim.

Please read a few words about the charity that we 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,

Dan Byrne, Joe deane, Joe dineen, John Quigley and John Ryan

About my charity

Cork Cancer Research Centre

Our Mission

To investigate the major issues in the genesis and secondary spread of cancer, in order to develop effective strategies for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. 

 

 

Dedicated to bringing new cancer treatments to patients our research programmes are aimed at:

• providing less invasive procedures for cancer surgery

• decreasing recovery times for patients

• making surgery possible where it is presently considered unsuitable

 

Investment in research is vital if we wish to develop new therapies in the areas of cancer prevention, detection and treatment. Through well focused research we strongly believe that a great number of lives can be saved and the quality of life for many people who develop this disease can be improved.

 

Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC) celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and is channelling all its expertise and experience into developing innovative and effective strategies for the control of secondary cancer spread (metastatic disease). Our ambition is to find the key to control this crucial component of the disease.

 

CCRC does not have any source of annual state funding and therefore is extremely reliant on voluntary fundraising efforts made by the public. The momentum made available by our fundraisers provides the drive and encouragement for breakthroughs to be made and for improvements to be made in the quality of life for all cancer patients.
