Ready for the thrill and exhilaration of taking part in one of our extreme challenges? Challenge yourself and join our fight against cancer by flying a helicopter, climbing a mountain, doing a triathalon or creating your own extreme event.
Experience the thrill of flying a helicopter as you take to the skies with the European Helicopter Academy based in Weston, Co. Dublin. After a full safety briefing covering the use of the controls, how the aircraft flies, and all its features, you and the pilot will take to the skies for 30 minutes.
We ask that you raise a minimum of €500. This covers the cost of the flight (€199), leaving the balance to go directly to The Irish Cancer Society. The more you raise, the more we can invest in cancer research and the free services we provide to those affected by cancer.
Contact us on 1850 60 60 60 or at fundraising@irishcancer.ie for more details and we’ll send you your sponsorship card and fundraising guide and arrange your flight.
The Irish Cancer Society has teamed up with the Irish Parachute Club (skydive.ie) based in Co. Offaly and Skydive Ireland (skydiveireland.ie) based in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary to offer you the experience of a lifetime with an adrenaline-filled parachute jump.
Contact us on 1850 60 60 60 or at fundraising@irishcancer.ie to specify whether you want to do your jump in Offaly or Tipperary, and we’ll send you your Skydive Application and Indemnity Form. When you return this form to us, we’ll send you your sponsorship cards, a fundraising guide and any further materials you may need.
Friends and family are a great support, but sometimes you're afraid to tell them what's really on your mind. It's different when you're talking to someone who's experienced cancer. Thanks Action Breast Cancer!

Not having to worry about getting to and from treatment gives me great peace of mind. It's reassuring to know that there are good, caring people volunteering their time simply to help people like me.

"The support the Irish Cancer Society showed my Mam and our family in the final weeks of her illness was so appreciated. It allowed us to have one last wonderful Christmas with Mam at home. She was so happy in her last couple of weeks, in her own home, that it was almost hard to believe her illness was so serious. A very tough illness incredibly had a beautiful ending. Our family often talk of your nurses and how special they really are."
