Lianne Mulholland, community fundraising officer, Cancer Focus NI, said: “I am so excited to be holding such a fun event for the whole community. We are inviting all the family to come along and of course dogs of all shapes and sizes.

“Our walk will not only increases awareness of Cancer Focus NI and of the support services we offer but will also raise vital funds for us. All the money raised will go towards our family support service which supports children or young people when a mum, dad or other adult family member has cancer.

“This event will not only be a great day out for you and your whole family but it will also help us help more local cancer patients and their families.”

The walk will kick off on Saturday, August 26 at 11am at Station Square, Portrush and ‘Pawty’ bags are available for the first 25 to register so sign up now! Contact the fundraising team at [email protected] or call 028 9068 0786.
