Annual costs for the Solas Cancer Support Centre hit €1.2million last year.

This comes as a record number 1,433 clients accessed the services and therapies provided by the centre last year.

This number includes individuals affected by a cancer diagnosis, including clients themselves, their friends, families, and those who have experienced a bereavement.

The annual Run and Walk for Solas (rebranded this year from the Run and Walk for Life) raised €230,000 last year.

The registration for this year’s two day event is now open for both the Dungarvan and Waterford City dates on October 10th and 11th respectively.

Manager of the Solas Cancer Support Centre spoke on The Big Breakfast Blaa ahead of the event.
