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!

Mother’s Day 5K – Lurgan Park
2024-03-09 11:30 - 14:30 | Lurgan Park, Windsor Ave, Lurgan, Armagh, BT67 9BG, United Kingdom
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.”

Give the gift of time in 2024 – Volunteer at the Great Big Bucket Collection

The Great Big Bucket Collection 2024
2023-12-20 - 2024-02-04 | Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland
The Great Big Bucket Collection is back and we need your help!
Stand with Action Cancer on Saturday 3rd February for World Cancer Day.

We will be out with our buckets collecting the following towns and cities across the country:
Carrickfergus, Cookstown, Coleraine, Newtownards, Larne, Lisburn and Bangor.
We are looking for groups of volunteers local to these areas to help us shake our buckets and raise stacks of cash for Action Cancer’s local detection and support services.
Will you and any family, friends or work colleagues volunteer a couple of hours and help make this event a ‘Great Big’ success?
Action Cancer has been at the heart of cancer prevention, detection and support for people in Northern Ireland for 50 years. The services that Action Cancer provides are unique and free to the user but the charity does not receive regular government funding which is why ‘The Great Big Bucket Collection’ is hugely important way to raise vital funds.
To take part all you need to do is complete the registration form below and make sure you specify which of the 7 areas you would be able to collect in.
If you can’t volunteer on the day Action Cancer is also calling for shops and businesses to get involved by taking a bucket or collection tin to display in their store or workplace on the weeks leading up to the collection to help raise funds.
If you don’t live in any of the areas but would still like to contribute you can donate online https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/greatbigbucketcollection
If you would like more information on the Great Big Bucket Collection or on Action Cancer Services, please call 028 9080 3344 or email mirwin-watson@actioncancer.org
