This year the walk takes place on Sunday 13th October, in the Place Grounds Tuam, starting at 2pm.

The walk gives us an opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors and their families and friends, in a lively, warm atmosphere. The event also reflects the support that people receive through our services, with music and entertainment and at the same time raise much needed funds for the Centre.

The Walk will include teams of cancer survivors, their families/friends and supporters, any member of the team can be team leader. Individuals and groups of friends are also welcome to take part.

In addition to the walk we will again be having a tree planting Remembrance Ceremony, where people can tie ribbons to our newly planted tree in memory of people they have lost through cancer. Ribbons can be purchased on the day for €2.

To participate please register by midnight, Friday 4th October 2019. Registration is FREE. Sponsorship cards, if requested will be provided on registration. T-shirts from last year can be reused. If t-shirts are required they can be ordered on the registration form and can be collected on the designated collection dates. White t-shirts for cancer survivors and royal blue for their friends/family/team members.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday 13th October at 2pm.

On Friday 13th December Tuam Cancer Care are inviting all businesses, schools, colleges, clubs and crèches in Tuam and surrounding areas, to GET INTO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT and take part in Christmas Jumper Day in support of the free and confidential cancer related support services offered at the Centre

Everyone will be invited to wear their silliest, sparkliest or cosiest Christmas woollies and make a donation of €2. If someone doesn’t have a festive sweater, don’t worry – it’s easy to decorate a plain jumper with tinsel, baubles or homemade snowflakes.

If your workplace does not permit wearing Christmas jumpers, why not instead consider wearing a hat, a Christmas brooch, a Christmas tie or even your favourite Christmas festive socks!  If the 13^th December doesn’t suit you, you can choose one that does.

Go on, encourage your family, friends and work colleagues to take part in the fun and frolics.

Tuam Cancer Care can supply participants with a personalised Christmas Jumper Day Poster with your company logo and date of your choice.

We’d really appreciate your help to make Christmas Jumper Day a huge success.

To register please log onto clr.ie/129075, or follow us on facebook on www.facebook.com/TuamCancerCareCentre for more information.
