Lisa Fanning fundraising for Breast Cancer Ireland in Run 100K in October

For the last few days I've been debating whether to take on this challenge. My hesitation wasn't about the cause, it was whether I was up to it. But I've decided to go for it and give it everything I have.
This year I'm taking on a 100km challenge to raise funds for breast cancer research.
My first cancer scare was 30 years ago. Fast forward through years of check-ups and mammograms, and in 2020 I received my first breast cancer diagnosis. After treatment, I got the all-clear and was approaching my five-year milestone when, completely out of the blue, I was diagnosed with a second unrelated breast cancer. Thankfully, 12 months later, I am fully recovered and ready to take on this challenge.
Having experienced treatment firsthand, I've seen the advances that research can make. That's why I'm asking for your support. Every donation helps fund vital research and supports the 3,700 women in Ireland who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
Every kilometre I run and every euro raised will help bring us one step closer to a future where breast cancer is treatable, manageable and ultimately curable.
If you'd like to support me, I'd be hugely grateful for a donation of any amount. Thank you
