Our amazing nurse Sinead will be doing the Ride to Conquer Cancer again this year.
In October over 2 days she will ride over 200km as part of the Woodside team.

Sinead would like to say thank you to everyone who has donated and supported her, a fundraising tin is at the reception desk if you would still like to donate.
