The Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre was absolutely delighted to once again be part of one of the most fun filled fundraisers of the year - the annual Killmoon Barn Dance! 🎢🀠😍

Bringing together great entertainment and wonderful festival spirit, this fantastic event raises vital funds for cancer research, care and support, alongside other deserving community charities.

We were incredibly grateful to receive a very generous €15,000 from the event, which raised an outstanding €155,000 for 19 charities. This donation will help us continue providing free support to people affected by cancer and their families. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ»

Our sincere thanks to Michael and Agnes Fox and their family, the Kerins family, the Killmoon Barn Dance Committee, and all the sponsors, performers and supporters who made the night such a success.

Last but certainly not least, a very special thank you to our own wonderful team of volunteers, some of whom are pictured here, who gave their time and energy to help serve behind the bar throughout the night. There was plenty of hard work, laughter and fun on the night! We are so grateful for your enthusiasm, kindness and continued support. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ₯°

We are already looking forward to more music, dancing and fun at next year’s Killmoon Barn Dance! πŸŽΆπŸ€ πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ

πŸŒοΈβ›³18th Blackbush Inter County Golf Tournament raises over €10,000 for the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre! πŸ’œ

Organiser of the Blackbush Inter County Golf Tournament, Gerry Flanagan visited the Centre recently to present a cheque for a fantastic €10,210 raised at the event, which took place at Black Bush Golf Club on Sunday 6 September.

The 2026 event was the 18th fundraising golf tournament organised by Gerry Flanagan in aid of the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre, and we are deeply grateful for Gerry’s commitment and considerable effort in support of our Centre. Thirty-seven teams took to the course on the day to help raise this fantastic total, and the delighted winners were the Dublin team.

As we see demand for our services continue to grow, fundraisers and support like this are vital to us to enable the Centre to continue to deliver our services to clients in Louth, Meath and the surrounding areas who need our support.

On behalf of all of us at the Centre, and particularly our clients, a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported this event and to Gerry Flanagan for his dedication in organising this special annual tournament. πŸ’œ

❀️🧑 NECRET Annual Conference 2026 πŸ’™πŸ’š

The Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre was honoured to once again host a stand at the annual North East Cancer Research & Education Trust (NECRET) Conference, held in the CityNorth Hotel on 19 September.

This year’s conference focused on hereditary cancer, giving us the opportunity to hear about the latest developments in this important area of cancer care and to learn from healthcare professionals and specialists working across the field.

Our Centre Manager, Susanne, and Cancer Support Nurse, JoAnne, represented the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre on the day. It was a valuable opportunity to meet and connect with healthcare professionals from across the North East, raise awareness of the free supports available through our Centre, and strengthen the links that help people affected by cancer access support within their local community.

NECRET plays an important role in supporting cancer treatment, care, research and education in the North East, including clinical cancer research, specialist equipment, education and training for healthcare professionals, improvements in patient care and public cancer awareness.

A special thank you to Liz Summersby, Professor Bryan Hennessy, Ciaran Briscoe, Karen Healy and the wider NECRET team for once again welcoming us to the conference.

We are always delighted to be part of it and really value the opportunity to connect, learn and continue building strong links across cancer services in the North East.
