Candlelight Walks for Cancer Hope | Ireland News

This year, East Cork is lighting up the night with its 12th annual Relay for Life — a 24-hour walking marathon on the CBS Midleton pitch, September 12-13, raising vital funds for the Irish Cancer Society. Thousands of candle bags, each bearing the names of those lost to or fighting cancer, line the track, illuminated by scouts and walkers alike. As dusk falls, the emotional Candle of Hope ceremony honors the departed and celebrates survivors in a dedicated marquee. It’s not just about walking — it’s a community-powered tribute filled with music, stories, and heartfelt support, making this Cork’s only such relay a deeply moving and essential fundraiser for cancer research and patient care.
