Make this the year to do something extraordinary and sign up for one of the Irish Cancer Society’s group treka. This will be a challenge of a lifetime filled with wonderful memories and lifelong friendships while raising vital funds for cancer research.
This challenge takes us from the shores of the Dead Sea, deep into the desert and the hidden city of Petra. Spending three nights under the stars in Bedouin encampments we experience the profound silence of the desert as Moses, Lawrence of Arabia, and camel trains have in millennia past.
Dates: Saturday 29th September to Sunday 7th October.
Fundraising Target: €4,000 including deposit of €300.

Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, is a magnet for trekkers and climbers the world over. This challenging trek takes us along the beautiful Machame route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the south, through dense tropical rain forest all the way up to the mighty snow-capped summit at 5896m for simply breathtaking views. This is a tough but spectacularly rewarding route. On reaching the summit, you will feel a sense of overwhelming achievement from a truly unforgettable challenge.
Dates: Friday 19th October to Sunday 28th October.
Fundraising Target: €5,200 including deposit of €300.

The Irish Cancer Society Research Fellowship will allow me to establish myself as a forerunner in the field of cancer specific immune responses in Ireland, and will give me the opportunity to translate my research from bench to bedside.
