My Personal Message
Hey Guys,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Cork Cancer Research Centre charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity. On the week of 17th August I will attempt to swim from England to France across the English Channel, a distance of 21 miles but I'm likely to have swim a lot further than that to make it.
My boat crew to help me achieve this goal will be Imelda Lynch, Cornelius Bohane, Barry O'Brien and Elle Bohane.
In case you haven't heard of the charity there is a description 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,
Robert |
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.
