Taking Steps in Support of Breast Cancer Care

04/09/2026

Members of the Women’s Squad of the Railway Union Rugby Club took great steps to raise funds for our breast cancer care services.   The team undertook a 24-hour walk in June and raised a fantastic €7,764.00 for us.   The event was organised across the day and night through a relay, in recognition of a team-mate undergoing treatment.  

The walk took the team near our hospitals in Elm Park, as it wound its way from Sandy Park to Sandymount.   Simultaneously, the Exeter Chiefs, in their support of their former player, undertook a 24 Hour Walk in East Devon, including their beach at Exmouth.       

We are so grateful for this very kind support that is a true demonstration of teamwork and friendship.
