We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Bernie Fahey & the team at Gort Co Operative Mart Ltd for their fantastic support in organising their charity sheep auction last month in aid of our charity. Cara & Mary are pictured here receiving a cheque for over €4,200 from Bernie at today's sheep mart.
We are so grateful to everyone who got involved, from those who generously donated items for the auction, to everyone who bid on & purchased items & to all who made a financial contribution.
Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference. The funds raised will help us continue providing vital support to people & families in our community living with the impact of a cancer diagnosis.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this fundraiser such a wonderful success. Your kindness & generosity are truly appreciated. 💙

Complementary therapies can be an important part of supporting people through cancer treatment, helping with wellbeing, relaxation, symptom management & quality of life. The key word is complementary: these therapies are used alongside medical treatment, not instead of it.
At Gort Cancer Support, we offer reflexology, acupuncture & oncology massage, available by appointment to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis. Contact us on 086 1724500 to find out more about our complementary therapy services.
Please note that a medical consent form, signed by your oncologist or GP, may be required before treatment.
