Business Beats Cancer Northern Ireland

I wanted to become involved with Business Beats Cancer Belfast after witnessing first-hand what a serious and horrible disease cancer is when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. Being a member of the board is a great way to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Research UK and to feel that you are doing something worthwhile.

My own Mum took part in many clinical trials during her Cancer journey and these may not have been possible without Cancer Research UK. I have joined Business Beats Cancer to promote the work of Cancer Research UK, raise vital funds and hopefully have some fun along the way.

We have all unfortunately lost friends and family to cancer, but in the space of a few weeks I saw both my brother-in-law and a very good personal friend lose their battles with pancreatic cancer. Knowing that BBC supports research and supports patients here in our own local towns and cities, I was keen to help out wherever possible.

I’m passionate about making a real impact in the fight against cancer.  Having experienced first-hand the challenges faced by family and friends battling the disease, I’m motivated to contribute to a cause that seeks to alleviate suffering and promote innovative research locally.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 years ago, at 28 years old. I saw first-hand how the research conducted into this form of cancer not only saved my life but also how it is so integral with the other parts of my cancer journey that continue today that many people don’t see.

Being on the Business Beats Cancer Board will give me the opportunity to use my skill set to help organise amazing fund-raising events. This will greatly help people and families in Northern Ireland affected by cancer.

I’ve always enjoyed organising and planning events, always say if I hadn’t gone into accountancy, I would have loved to have been an event planner.  When I saw the opportunity come up to join the Board of Business Beats Cancer Belfast I jumped at the chance.  I felt I could do something I love and even more importantly do it for an amazing cause.

I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to join the board of Business Beats Cancer Belfast. The cancer statistics are startling and research into how to prevent, treat and cure cancer is more important now than ever before.

For several years, I have been an ardent follower of Belfast Business Beats Cancer, a cause that resonates deeply with me. The organisation’s dynamism and proven track record of success have been a source of inspiration, compelling me to join their esteemed board.

I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to join the board of Business Beats Cancer Belfast. I have joined the board to help raise vital funds and to promote the amazing work of Cancer Research UK and I am so looking forward to working with like-minded professionals to make a difference for people in Northern Ireland.

Cancer, unfortunately, is a disease that touches many of us, our families, our friends. I look forward to contributing to the efforts of Business Beats Cancer Belfast to raise much needed awareness, funds and to promote the efforts of Cancer Research UK and the ground breaking work that goes on locally in the Patrick G Johnson Centre.
