Walk with her…Walk to remember her.
The Action Cancer Mother’s Day Walk is a fundraising event co-ordinated by the Lurgan Action Cancer Community Group. This 5K walk will take place within the beautiful surrounds of Lurgan Park on Saturday 9th March and is a both an uplifting and tranquil experience. This is also a dog friendly walk so we encourage you to bring all members of your family.
Registration: £10 per adult (children under 16 free)
PLEASE NOTE: Online registration will end at 5pm on 7th March. You can of course register on the day of the walk from 11.30 am
Courtesy of Country Kitchen there will be refreshments provided for walkers once the walk is completed.
The walk starts at 12pm but people can register on the day from 11.30am.
All monies raised will go towards helping Action Cancer continue to offer its many services some of which take place locally through visits from Big Bus visits to Lurgan and the surrounding area and the complementary therapy services for children and adults affected by cancer that take place in Zion House in the town.

Supporting the Walk once again is Caroline Pinion, mum, sister, daughter; “I wanted to be a part of the Mother’s Day Walk last year as it marked the 5th anniversary of my own mum’s passing and therefore is a particularly poignant time of the year for me. For people in a similar situation Mother’s Day can be a time of dread and sadness but I want it to be a time for remembrance, for celebrating the extraordinary person my mum was. My brother and aunt also took part so that made it a real family affair as we don’t always have the opportunity to get together as we all live in different places. Even just being in the park which was the backdrop to my childhood brought so many precious memories flooding back from being a pupil at King’s Park, trips to the pool or just family walks around the lake with our dog Cindy.”

50 Miles in May Challenge 2024
2024-05-01 08:00 - 2024-05-31 23:00 | Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland
Challenge yourself to completing 50 miles throughout the month of May and do it your way!
This fundraiser encourages you to cover 50 miles over the 31 days in May – that’s an average of 3,406 steps or 1.6 miles a day.
This is a challenge for ALL abilities!
If you are looking to for a way to introduce an exercise routine into your day, this is the perfect place to start the journey to a healthier you.
If you are already quite physically active, then this is an opportunity to push yourself that little bit further by adding an ADDITIONAL 50 miles to your exercise routine in May. e.g. If you already run 5 miles on a Sunday, push yourself to 6.6 miles instead; if your daily steps target is 10K per a day then why not challenge yourself to 13,400?
Every mile you clock, every step you take you will be helping Action Cancer to support local people, and their families, affected by a cancer diagnosis. This will also allow you to look after your own health and well-being at the same time.
Once you have registered we will send out your very own Action Cancer t-shirt and fundraising pack.

We have created a Just Giving online donations page which can be linked to your social media pages – just click here: 50 Miles in May Just Giving Page
As a thank you Hastings Hotels have provided an over night stay at one of their locations for the top fundraiser of the event!

So what are you waiting for? Run it – Walk it – Bike it – Swim it … DO IT!

Breast Foot Forward Walk
2024-06-07 19:00 - 22:30 | Belfast City Hall, Donegall Square, Belfast, Antrim, BT1 5GS
The Breast Foot Forward Walk sponsored by SuperValu is back on Friday 6th June 2025!
Online Registration is now open!! Sign Up Now, Save a Life, Support a Friend!
This fun filled event promises to be a night to remember, bring the family, bring your friends, even bring the dog! This is a great chance to grab your BFF’s for a good old chin wag while stepping your way to the finish line, taking in the wonderful sights Belfast City Centre has to offer and raising much needed funds for Action Cancer’s life-saving breast screening service & cancer support services along the way!
You can choose to walk 5km or 10km along the City Centre Route, whatever suits you best! Both routes are well supported with motivation stations and Volunteers are on hand to keep you going! Hundreds of participants will transform the streets of Belfast into a sea of pink, a powerful sight of how amazing our supporters are!
Starting and ending at Belfast City Hall, there will also be a fun warm up, free goodies and music provided by U105!
So spread the word among your BFF‘s and help us to raise stacks of cash for Action Cancer’s life-saving breast screening service.
All participants will receive a free T shirt, drawstring bag, filled with goodies, courtesy of our amazing Sponsor Supervalu & their suppliers and a fundraising pack, with lots of support on how you can raise as much as possible for our unique breast screening services!
By taking part in this amazing event, you will help us to save more lives, lives like Tanya’s! Tanya is 45 and lives in Ballyclare with her husband & 3 children/ Tanya had her breast cancer detected by Action Cancer in 2023 at the age of 44 through a routine mammogram.

“Action Cancer saved my life through early detection. The doctors told me it would been years before I would have been able to feel a lump and as I was not eligible to receive my first NHS mammogram until 50, by that point it may have been too late. I am so grateful to Action Cancer for providing this amazing service. I’m so excited to get involved in this year’s walk, last year was amazing & I know this year will be bigger and better– it really is a fun-filled event for an amazing cause! Hope to see you there!”
If everyone taking part could raise the cost of a screening £120 think of the lives we could save! Last year’s walk raised £50,000 which provided 416 local women with a potentially life-saving breast screening appointment! Let’s come together and raise as much as possible for this life-saving service!

For further queries please contact breastfootforward@actioncancer.org or call 028 9080 3344 option 2.
We are incredibly grateful to our event sponsor SuperValu.
