Marie Keating Foundation seeks volunteers
At the end of August, a team of cyclists from Motorola in Cork will commence a demanding four-day 600km cycle for the Marie Keating Foundaion that will take them through all the counties of Munster. Stage 1 of the `Tour de Munster', which begins on Thursday, August 26, should see the cyclists pass through Cahir, Bansha and Tipperary town. They will continue through Limerick, Clare and Kerry before finishing up in Cork on Sunday, August 29.
The Marie Keating Foundation is appealing for volunteers to collect for breast cancer in their local town for the duration of the tour. All monies raised go towards maintaining the Marie Keating
Foundation's three mobile units which, staffed with a registered nurse, provide cancer information free of charge to the general public. The units are based in the eastern, western and southern regions of Ireland. Since its foundation in May 2001 by Ronan Keating in memory of his mother, the foundation has provided information to over 3,407 women, a staggering 1,824 of which have been referred to their GP for further evaluation. The Marie Keating Foundation also funds bursaries for nurses in oncology.
To become a volunteer, contact Linda on 087 2181318 or Barbara on 087 6313250. For further information log on to www.mariekeating.com.
