A fifth of the annual running costs for the Solas Cancer Support Centre has been raised from the two-day Run and Walk for Solas which took place last month in Waterford City and Dungarvan.
The official cheque presentation took place last week in UPMC Whitfield and WLR caught up with Tracy McDaid, manager of the Centre.
The annual running costs of the centre, which includes therapies and treatments for both those with a cancer diagnosis and their families now sits at €1.2 million.
Speaking with WLR, Tracy said the centre is an extremely important resource for the wider community, as evidenced by the huge turnout and visibility of the orange t-shirts every October, and all year round.
