Interested in a fun challenge of an amazing 25km walk and ramble through the beautiful Boyne Valley countryside in aid of NECRET, who support focused activities towards improving treatment and outcomes of people with cancer.
Starting from St Peter’s Church led by wonderfully experienced tour leaders who have very kindly volunteered their services, the trail follows the River Boyne before gaining the woodlands of the Townley Estate and then meandering quiet lanes to Mellifont, where there will be an opportunity for that much earned packed lunch or other refreshments. A separate return route gives a total walk of 25km.

NECRET is fighting cancer everyday in various ways.
Here are some of the ways in which your donations are INVESTED.
We’re delighted to share that Dr. David O'Reilly recently received the prestigious Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) — a huge honour recognising the NECRET-supported breath research into the early detection, diagnosis and monitoring of lung cancer.
ASCO is one of the world’s leading cancer organisations, with its annual conference in Chicago attended by over 45,000 oncology professionals from across the globe.
A special mention also to Prof. Bryan Hennessy, who has spearheaded this groundbreaking initiative and continues to drive innovation in cancer research.

If you are visiting the Drogheda Motor Show, do be sure to stop by NECRET’s stand! See how your support helps drive better cancer research, care, and education for families right across the north-east.
Despite advances and improvements in the treatment of cancer, there is still a long way to go and this is why cancer research is so important. Research is the only way to ensure that new and better cancer treatments and drugs continue to become available for people with cancer.
The evidence also clearly shows that cancer patients treated in research-active hospitals have better outcomes than those who are not. This is why, as part of NECRET’s mission we believe it is important to help support vital clinical cancer research.
Our Lady of Lourdes and Beaumont Hospitals are both sister hospitals within the RSCI Hospital Group that work together in delivering patient care. Members of the NECRET board recently visited the RCSI Oncology Lab on the Beaumont campus, where the research is conducted to receive an update on the very latest developments the charity supports; including approaches to improve the treatment of bowel and lung cancers.
NECRET would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported its cause and without whom these advances wouldn’t be possible.
The charity is proud to have supported advances across different cancer types including lung, ovarian, breast and bowel which can viewed at https://www.necret.ie/cuttingEdge

NECRET Supporting Cancer Research Show More Info
NECRET are very proud and excited to have played a significant role in contributing towards a significant development in lung cancer diagnosis. This new test which was advanced in collaboration by Dr Rob Smyth under Professor Bryan Hennessy will mean that some cases of lung cancer will be able to be monitored from microscopic breath particles. Lung cancer is the cause of approximately a fifth of all cancer deaths in Ireland and unfortunately the number of cases continues to increase by 3% annually.
