Pensioner faces 200km Donegal to Galway trip for cancer treatment
The elderly woman, from North Donegal, contacted a local charity which operates a volunteer bus service transporting cancer patients the four-hour journey to Galway or Dublin. Donegal has no specialist cancer care services, meaning patients have no option but to travel colossal distances for radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The woman, who does not want her name published, sought help from Eamonn McDevitt, who runs the cancer bus service entirely on donations.
