Half-Million Raised For Cancer Research

Jim Bolger | Racing Post

Jim Bolger and Davy Russell's Celebrity Hurling Match in aid of the Irish Cancer Society has surpassed the half-million euro mark over five years, with total funds raised reaching €542,000. The money has helped fund cancer research including the recent development of a drug that could treat a difficult form of breast cancer. Jim Bolger said, “It is truly exciting to see the developments being made through cancer research here in Ireland. The number of people with cancer in Ireland is rising annually and more research is vital to tackle this growing epidemic. Davy and I, and all those involved in Hurling for Cancer Research, are proud to play a part in funding the Irish Cancer Society's work in this field.”
