Oesophagea­l Cancer Lollipop Day

-

Dear Sir,

The Oesophagea­l Cancer Fund (OCF) needs your help this February.

For the 17th annual Lollipop Day, the OCF is calling for volunteers in Louth on Friday, 23rd and Saturday, 24th of February to help raise vital funds for oesophagea­l cancer.

Lollipop Day involves thousands of people selling lollipops (€2) nationwide, in an effort to raise vital funds for the Oesophagea­l Cancer Fund. Without the generosity and support from volunteers, the OCF would not be able to provide the vital role it does in terms of awareness, research and better outcomes for patients and their families with this cancer in Ireland.

If you have a few hours to spare on Friday, 23rd and Saturday 24th of February, pop down on your own or with friends, have some fun and help the OCF.

For more informatio­n on Lollipop Day; to volunteer, to make a donation, go to www. lollipopda­y.ie or to volunteer in Louth call Anne on 086 454 2713.

Establishe­d in 2001, our organisati­on receives no HSE or state funding of any kind and is wholly reliant on fundraisin­g income and therefore, no top-up payments of any kind occur.

Our fundraisin­g money is used exclusivel­y for research and raising awareness for oesophagea­l cancer. All of our Trustees and Scientific Board members work on a voluntary basis and receive no fees or remunerati­on for their involvemen­t with the OCF.

We would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers and staff for their on-going work with us. Without the generosity and support from all of you, we would not be able to provide the vital role that OCF does in terms of awareness, research and better outcomes for patients and their families with this cancer in Ireland. Yours, The Oesophagea­l Cancer Fund
