Our dear friend, Attracta O'Regan passed away in July, 2023 due to complications from ovarian cancer. She was a wife, mum, mamó and lawyer, passionate about her family, learning, human rights, the rule of law and helping others.

Ovarian cancer is ruthless. Over 400 women are diagnosed annually. It’s an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and in Ireland, there are over 290 deaths every year. These women are more than statistics; they are someone's wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend. The cruelty of this cancer lies in its stealth; often, it goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages 3 or 4. This drastically reduces the chances of survival. The reality is very stark: 7 in 10 women are diagnosed too late.

There is currently no accurate test for the early detection of ovarian cancer. This is why we are fundraising for the charity Breakthrough Cancer Research. We are on a mission to deliver an early detection test for ovarian cancer.

In September 2024, Ann, Robert and Attracta's friends are embarking on a self-funded cycle from Paris to Nice to raise €150,000 for Breakthrough Cancer Research to support the development of tests for the early detection of ovarian cancer.. We have raised €26,000+ so far. All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause.
