"We take the fear away from cancer by explaining it at a level children can understand"
A cancer diagnosis is a shock not only for the patient but also their families. The East Galway and Midlands Cancer Unit support children between the age of five and 12 who have an adult in their life with a cancer diagnosis.
“If you give with an open heart, you get it back ten times.” So says Jacqueline Daly, who knows all about giving.
She has been helping people with cancer and their families for over a decade through her involvement with the East Galway and Midlands Cancer Unit. The charity offers much-needed support, from complementary therapies to counselling, at its centre in Ballinalsoe, Co Galway. It has grown from humble beginnings to helping up to 200 patients a week.
