15 years ago this week, Cancer Connect took to the road for the very first time.

In our first year, 120 volunteers completed 300 journeys, 120 volunteers, supporting 160 patients and covering over 50,000 kilometres — all to make getting to treatment a little easier.

From the very beginning, the goal was simple:

to remove the stress of travel so patients could focus on what really matters — their health.

15 years on, that mission hasn’t changed.

What started as a small, community-driven service in West Cork has grown into a county-wide lifeline, with over 65,000 journeys completed thanks to the dedication of our volunteer drivers and the support of our community.

This milestone belongs to our incredible volunteer drivers, our passengers, and every person who has supported us along the way.

Here’s to the next 15 years.
