Amber Springs to help raise cancer awareness
THE Amber Springs Hotel has teamed up with the Marie Keating Foundation in a charity partnership.
The hotel has instigated a programme of activity to help raise cancer awareness and provide a platform for donations to support the cancer foundation’s services. Amber Springs will host a number of free cancer information meetings, have dedicated Marie Keating Foundation trains at each of the seasonal Amber train events, provide breaks for families with a terminally ill family member. The hotel has also recently introduced a new therapeutic range of products and treatments into the Cocoon Spa for people who are or have suffered from cancer.
Speaking at the launch of the charity partnership, Eibhear Coyle from the Amber Springs said: ‘No one is immune from cancer and the hotel is fortunate to be able to help support the Marie Keating Foundation in their endeavours to assist those affected by cancer and their families.
‘ The partnership has been driven by the empathy of both the owners and staff of the Amber Springs for those affected by cancer and admiration for the work being done by the Marie Keating Foundation. We hope to raise as much funds as possible to help beat this terrible disease.’
Amber Spring will be supporting the Marie Keating Foundation in a number of ways including donations on booking; specially designed spa treatments and cancer awareness information on the hotel’s website, which will also tie in with Breast Cancer month and other specific campaigns.
There will also be free public meetings for cancer survivors, sufferers and patients will be held at the hotel throughout the year. These will start with the Marie Keating Survive and Thrive six week workshops and seminars which have been created to help men and women who have finished cancer treatment to adapt to the ‘new normal.’ The first Survive and Thrive programmes will take place in Amber Springs starting on Thursday April 6. Free registration is now open on www.mariekeating.ie.
