THE Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) is looking for volunteers in Kerry for Lollipop Days on March 3rd and 4th.

Lollipop Day involves thousands of people selling lollipops (€2) nationwide, in an effort to raise vital funds for oesophageal cancer.

Without the generosity and support from volunteers, the OCF would not be able to provide the vital role it does in terms of awareness, research and better outcomes for patients and their families with this cancer in Ireland.

If you have a few hours to spare on Friday, 3rd and Saturday 4th of March, pop down on your own or with friends, have some fun and help the OCF.

Pádraig  Harrington, OCF Patron, said: “Volunteers are so important for Lollipop Day. If you can give some time on the 3rd and 4th of March it will make the world of difference

Noelle Ryan, OCF CEO, said: “We are very fortunate to have an ever increasing number of dedicated volunteers, all of whom make Lollipop Day possible and a success every year.

“But we still need more volunteers so if anyone or any group is interested in helping out, please contact us on www.lollipopday.ie.”
