Give the Gift of Time
The Gift of Time focuses on the central theme of giving the precious gift of time to those patients sadly impacted directly by breast cancer, and in particular metastatic diagnoses, through the funding of world class research into new therapies and treatments for the disease. Every cent of the funds raised through this campaign will be channeled into funding additional laboratory time, affording our Breast Cancer Ireland funded research teams the time needed to continue in their ground-breaking research into a possible cure for this sometimes fatal disease.
Thank you for giving the gift of time.

Then in 2016 breast cancer came knocking on her door once again, a different subtype breast cancer. Once again Ann underwent surgery and treatment and she thanks the research “time” spent developing newer and more effective treatments that have given her back her quality of life
