BCI Ambassadors
Ambassadors representing Breast Cancer Ireland play an important role in raising awareness by sharing their own personal experiences, promoting campaigns and forging relationships within the community. Our ambassadors advance the goals of BCI by communicating breast health at events ranging from schools to fund raising events and social evenings, thus spreading awareness to women nationwide. Our ambassadors also play a vital role in breast cancer research supported by BCI; from experimental design to execution and dissemination of translation research they prove to be an invaluable resource. Our Ambassadors are often called upon by our research teams to help with studies of international importance re life after diagnosis from a physical and psychological view point.
