Dublin LGFA is looking forward to working with BCI, to highlight awareness of breast cancer but also to raise much needed funds to enable the charity to continue with their vital services”.

Aisling Hurley Director at Breast Cancer Ireland said “We are delighted to partner with the Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football Association and we hope by our association more and more women, young and old, will become breast aware.

Awareness helps to save lives, whether it’s wearing our new pink laces as part of our “Lace Up For A Cure” campaign or downloading our free app “Breast Aware” we want   women everywhere to recognise that their breast health is their wealth!

Dublin LGFA clubs can play their part and get involved with the “Lace Up For A Cure” campaign by purchasing the pink laces.
