Paul & Craig presented Carmel with a €10,000 grant to help fund OCF’s Patient Support Programme, including forthcoming meetings in Cork (Silver Springs) on 28th September; in Dublin (Talbot Stillorgan) on 19th October and Galway (Maldron) 23rd November.

Carmel thanked the Hospital Saturday Fund saying:
“The aim of these regional meetings is for people affected by oesophageal cancer to meet others who are in similar situations, while providing practical information post-surgery to remove their oesophagus or food pipe which can have lifelong implications on diet, exercise and the way people sleep. Most importantly though, getting together like this as a community, reminds everyone affected by this difficult cancer that they do not walk alone. There is always a real sense of hope and healing when we get together. So, on behalf of all the families benefiting from OCF’s support programme, I want to thank the Hospital Saturday Fund for their generous grant. With funders like this in our corner, we can do more, reach more and support more, thank you.”
