Here is a chat / interview with Jennifer Hayes, a wonderful lady.
She took part in our first Coast to Curragh charity cycle in 2021.
A cyst on her Pancreas had been discovered some 13 months previously.
Jennifer is having surgery this month, July 2024, as that cyst has grown recently.
She shares her story with us as she wants to highlight the brilliant job that Cancer Trials Ireland do and that raising money for them is so important.
She will be our guest of honour at this year’s cycle on Sat August 31st 2024.

Had a chat with Eibhlín Mulroe, CEO of Cancer Trails Ireland about all the fantastic work they do.

In loving memory Pat Smullen and Olive Lynch
