Help me raise €14k for Cancer Support Hey Everyone As you may or may not have heard, I am planning to cycle across Cuba next March with some friends. I know what your thinking - Why?? We are doing this cycle to raise much needed funds for Arc Cancer Support (http://arccancersupport.ie/). Our aim is to raise in excess of €14,000 and we need your help! Over the coming months, we will be organising fundraising events which we will be in touch about but if anyone would like to sponsor, you can do so online. Any contribution is greatly appreciated no matter how big or how small, just go to http://www.charitycycle.com and you can either make a donation or pledge to make a donation. ARC Cancer Support Centre is a voluntary organisation and registered charity located at 65 Eccles Street, Dublin. The first of its kind, the aim of ARC House is to provide a professional support service to adults affected by all types of cancer, no matter where they are being treated in Ireland. An holistic approach to support is used as a complementary adjunct to primary medical treatment.

The first of its kind, the aim of ARC House is to provide a professional support service to adults affected by all types of cancer, no matter where they are being treated in Ireland. A holistic approach to support is used to complement primary medical treatment. For the past ten years, ARC House has been supporting people affected by cancer from every county in Ireland. In 2005 over 1,200 people availed of our services and consequently visits to ARC House exceeded 7, 200. All the services in ARC Cancer Support Centre are absolutely free of charge but donations are always gratefully accepted. The umbrella of support incorporates research based safe support to those who avail of our services. Although not a medical centre, we have referrals from all hospital staff including nurses, doctors and other health care professionals. ARC services include counseling by oncology nurses and psychotherapists, informational and educational cancer related courses and selected research-based complementary therapies. If you want any more details, want to give sponsorship money to me personally or if you want to give me some fundraising tips or ideas - Please get in touch. Paddy Butler
Good luck and well done, my mother has lung cancer at the moment and in her last months, and i am sure everyone on this site knows someone who has died from cancer, or is suffering right now. So Yes i will be making a donation.
This is weird, our printer at home randomly printed off a concern thing about walking the great wall, and my bro's friends did this cycle last year or year before, is it a sign?
I will make a donation. No problem. I'll say it to my boss too. I'm sure he;ll jump onboard with it. Good luck
Thats brilliant, thanks a million. We will be having some events too so ill post them when they are confirmed. There should be a table quiz in Ballinteer, night at Harolds Cross Greyhound Races, a sponsored cycle on St Stephen's Day (around 20 miles) and maybe a sponsored swim in the 40-foot on Christmas Day and anything else that we can come up with!
Just to help this along always good to post the registered charity number - so tax refief can be claimed on donations its ID: CHY01085 in this case.
