RACHAEL Blackmore has been appointed a charity ambassador for Cancer Fund for Children, which is an all-island charity.

Rachael said: “I’m very proud to be an ambassador for Cancer Fund for Children. The charity is dedicated to helping and supporting children, young people and their families, who have been affected by cancer. It’s so important that the great services they provide can be made available to as many families as possible at a time when they need it most.”

Cancer Fund for Children provide emotional, social and therapeutic support to children and young people living with cancer, as well as their parents and siblings across the island of Ireland. This support is provided in the hospital, at home, in the community and at the short-break therapeutic centre, Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co Down.

Plans are already underway for a second Daisy Lodge centre to be built in Cong, Co Mayo, with construction commencing later in the year.
