We support children, young people and families impacted by cancer across the island of Ireland 💛
About us
Our vision is that no child should face cancer alone. Every week across the island of Ireland an average of 10 children and young people aged 0-24 years old will be diagnosed with cancer. Cancer Fund for Children is here to help, guide and support families through childhood cancer. Our services include individual support, group support and therapeutic short breaks for the whole family. Through this work we help to empower family members, so they feel better equipped to cope with the emotional impact of cancer. We support over 400 families and 800 children and young people every year.

“I encourage everyone to sign up for this year’s Bog Run. You hear about cancer and think it will never happen to you, but then it does, and it can happen so quickly. When David passed away, everyone was so supportive, but no one knew what to say. Before our experience, I didn’t know much about Cancer Fund for Children or the support they provide. It’s only when we needed their services that I realised how beneficial and necessary they are.” – Lynsey 💛 Lynsey and her two daughters, Amy and Alice, lost husband and father David to cancer in August 2022. After taking on our Bog Run last year, they are sharing their experience in the hopes that it encourages others to get involved in this year's event. Sign up with your colleagues today and help us ensure families like Lynsey's don't have to face their experience alone 👇 💪 https://bit.ly/46pEDz3 #FamilyStory #BogRun #TogetherThroughCancer
