Want to be a link in a Guinness world record breaking five mile long chain AND help fund Irish cancer research?
Yes?
The Caroline Foundation in partnership with Bray Cancer Support Centre and Greystones Cancer Support need your help for an exciting world record challenge.
Helen from The Caroline Foundation writes:
A system is being set up involving 100 individual ‘cells’ or groups – hopefully Greystones and Bray residents but also CCRT patients and families. Each cell leader will have responsibility for bringing 40 people to line the route. Each ribbon holder will be asked to donate €10 – that means that each cell will contribute a minimum of € 400.
When?
Sunday, 11 May 2014 starting on Bray seafront.
If you would be interested in setting up a ‘cell’ or joining a ‘cell’ please contact Helen O’Sullivan-Dwyer (helen@thecarolinefoundation.com)
