BREAST cancer survivor Katie Browne, originally from Ballybunion, now living in Kildare, is supporting the Irish Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and encouraging the public to host a Big Pink Breakfast to help fund vital breast cancer support services and life-changing breast cancer research projects.

Katie Browne, who was diagnosed aged just 39, has a family history of breast cancer and was diagnosed with the disease in May 2023.

She had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy and is now “on the other side” of her cancer treatment. She recently ran a half-marathon, raising over €4,500 for the Irish Cancer Society.

“I would encourage everyone to please get behind the Big Pink Breakfast campaign, a huge amount of the funding for the Irish Cancer Society’s breast cancer support services and breast cancer research projects comes from donations made by the public. If you are at all able, please support this important cause.”

This October the Irish Cancer Society is encouraging people to host a Big Pink Breakfast in their homes, workplaces, communities and colleges to raise funds to support breast cancer support services such as free counselling, transport to treatment, Night Nursing and much more. Funds raised will also be used to fund ground-breaking breast cancer research projects.
