Lollipop Day!

Hey there!

               So this Friday we, as Transition Years, are going into Dublin City! We will be selling lollipops for €2 each in aid of esophageal cancer!
               St. Wolstans have been helping out with Lollipop Day for the past couple of years.. TY's go into town in the morning, and ask the passers by would they like to support Lollipop day and buy a lollipop.. It is most definitely a great cause!

               

Some facts about Lollipop Day!

• The Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) is a registered charity which was set up in 2001 by friends of Lucilla Hyland to raise awareness of the symptoms of oesophageal cancer and to provide money for research so as to improve the journey and outcomes for people with oesophageal cancer and their families.
• Over the past few years that Lollipop Day has been running, they have managed to raise over €2.5 million. Thanks to everyone for their brilliant support! Ye have all made such a difference in peoples lives!
• This money has gone towards research on cures for esophageal cancer, medical care for those dealing with esophageal cancer and also towards the machinery and medicines for doctors/ hospitals treating esophageal cancer.
