Centra’s Dublin walks tickle the city pink

DUBLIN showed its generosity with 12 Centra stores hosting Pink Walks this October for the Irish Cancer Society’s Action Breast Cancer.

The Dublin Centra stores are on target to raise e11,000 for the very worthy charity cause.

Over 600 people from all over the county pounded the pavements of towns, villages and neighbourhoods demonstrating tremendous community spirit and real support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Centra’s Pink Walks touched every part of the country with almost 200 stores nationwide hosting their own local walk and raising a staggering e225,000 along the way.

Over ten thousand participants collectively walked an amazing 50,000 kilometres through villages and cities around Ireland to help drive awareness of breast cancer and raise badly needed funds.

All funds raised will go directly to the Irish Cancer Society, which helps provide information, advice and support services for women with breast cancer in Ireland.

This is the fourth year that Centra has supported the Irish Cancer Society’s Action Breast Cancer, with the campaign over the last three years raising over e1 million.
