history

Following her own diagnosis of Cancer and experiencing firsthand the additional financial challenges this disease brings, Antoinette Moore founded AOK in 2013.Cancer costs money, and the Charity was founded to assist people financially affected by Cancer. Maintaining confidentiality is essential as most people find it hard to ask for help.Raising funds locally and keeping them locally is another priority maintained.To date AOK has and continues to help people in so many practical ways from Bandon to Beara.This service can only continue through the generous support of donations and sponsored events from the good people of West Cork.We thank you.
