Breast Cancer Ireland at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) is pleased to announce that their recent raffle has raised in excess of €450,000 towards breast cancer research at RCSI, with over 10,000 people participating nationwide.

The lucky winners of this autumn's raffle are Ultan and Una Bannon from Monaghan. They have won a trip to South Africa 2010 for 10 days and match tickets to three of the FIFA World Cup games. Breast Cancer Ireland would like to thank everyone for their generosity and continuing support.

Aisling Hurley, Director of Development, said: “This level of support and generosity in these challenging times is truly overwhelming and greatly assists RCSI’s mission to offer Ireland a truly translational approach to the treatment of Breast Cancer, by speeding up discovery and ultimate treatment of patients diagnosed, through endeavour and collaboration amongst all relevant clinicians and scientists throughout the country.”
