THE Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) needs people in Kerry to help with their 19th annual Lollipop Day.
On Friday, February 28 and Saturday, February 29, the national charity will host its fundraising and awareness day in Kerry to help raise funds for Oesophageal Cancer across the country.
Lollipop Day involves thousands of people selling lollipops (€3) nationwide, in an effort to raise vital funds for the Oesophageal Cancer Fund.

Without the generosity and support from volunteers, the OCF would simply not be able to provide the vital role it does in terms of highlighting symptoms awareness, raising funds for innovative research into improved treatment outcomes for patients, and supporting anyone affected by this niche cancer in Ireland.
To date, the OCF has contributed €1.8 million in funding for Oesophageal Cancer research by the country’s leading experts into this disease and helped establish the nations’ first National Barrett’s Oesophagus Registry and Bio Bank, a vital step in developing an understanding of this cancer today and in the future.
If you have a few hours to spare on Friday, 28th and/or Saturday, 29th of February, they would love you to volunteer either on your own or with friends in Kerry towns. If interested please register at https://www.ocf.ie/register-for-lollipop-day-2020/
