Action Cancer Events Officer Arlene Creighton added: “Action Cancer provides breast screening for 11,000 women aged 40-49 and 70+ each year. For every 1,000 women screened, six women will have their cancers detected, hopefully at an early and treatable stage.

“Our Big Bus visits 235 locations every year and this is only possible because of the generous support Action Cancer receives from the local community. We are indebted to St Mary’s Folk Choir, Brian and everyone at Rasharkin Parish for their generosity and support.”
