Cancer research set for €300,000 from charity runs

IRISH cancer research is to get up to €300,000 from funds raised by this year’s Terry Fox Runs that will take place all over Ireland on Sunday, October 17.

All the money raised is used to fund projects researching a wide range of cancers in different hospitals and universities around Ireland.

Efforts are ongoing in Ireland in identifying the risk factors for various cancers so that the disease may be prevented.
