We've got something special coming your way this June!💗

A new challenge that you can take on your way, at your pace, all while supporting breast cancer research.🚶‍♀️👟

Details coming soon...👀

We're delighted to share that one of our wonderful volunteers, Louise Griffin, has been nominated for the Community Service and Social Inclusion Award at this year's Mayor's Awards!💗🏆

The Mayor's Awards is a highly esteemed event that acknowledges the selfless efforts of individuals, communities and voluntary groups who give their time and energy to better our community.

During COVID, Louise approached us at NBCRI with a fundraising idea inspired by her experience with friends and family being affected by breast cancer. She noticed the growing popularity of sea swimming and its health benefits and worked with NBCRI to create 'Swim in Pink', a community-driven fundraiser for breast cancer research.🏊‍♀️

At NBCRI, we are so fortunate to have so many amazing volunteers. We are always grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on our supporters, they are all winners!✨

The Awards Ceremony takes place this evening, Wednesday 29 April and will be broadcasted live from 7pm ➡️ youtube.com/live/_W-uUB056…

Wishing Louise the best of luck at tonight's awards ceremony and thank you for all your continued support!👏

Student Support for Breast Cancer Research!💗🎓

Students at ATU Galway-Mayo Students’ Union have selected the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) as their charity partner for the year.

The partnership got off to an impressive start earlier in the year, with their Student Raceday at the Galway Races raising €8,442 in support of breast cancer research.✨

As part of ATU Rag Week, which took place at the beginning of February, students organised a wide range of fundraising events. These included a Head Shave/Shave-Off, a Rag Week Fun Run, a Rag Week Basketball Tournament, and a Rag Week 5-a-side football competition.

The students are also supporting NBCRI’s Mayo Pink Ribbon Cycle, which will take place in Castlebar over the May Bank Holiday weekend.🚲💕

With many more fundraising activities planned throughout the year, the students are committed to continuing their support for breast cancer research right through to the end of the year.
