YouCan Ireland, the national support network for people who have had a cancer diagnosis in their 20s, 30s and 40s, are coming to the Recovery Haven in Tralee for an open day on Saturday, August 13.
YouCan Ireland was founded in February 2015 by a group of volunteers who themselves have been diagnosed with cancer as young adults and who wished they had somewhere to turn when they heard the words ‘you have cancer’.
The purpose of the network is to provide a nationwide support system for young adults with cancer, advocate for consistent and age appropriate respectful care that supports young adults with a cancer diagnosis, educate the public and medical profession on the experiences of young adults with cancer, and to be the face of young adult cancer.

YouCan Ireland is a nationwide service for young adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s and their families to get that much needed support in their fight against cancer.
They are hosting our next open day in Recovery Haven, 5 Haigs Terrace, Killerisk, on Saturday August 13, from 2pm-5pm. There will be a guest speaker, discussing issues experienced by young adults who have or have had cancer.
It will also be an opportunity to meet the YouCan Ireland team and other young adults who have experienced a cancer diagnosis. All of the YouCan Ireland team know what it is like to receive a cancer diagnosis.
