University of Galway CancerSoc students will come out fighting on March 5 at the Clayton Hotel for ‘Box in Pink’ in aid of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI ).

All the participating students will gather together with the common goal of raising funds for breast cancer research by supporting the NBCRI, a Galway-based charity at the Lambe Institute, University of Galway.

The institute-funded researchers are currently working on major national and international projects to help improve both the diagnosis and treatment for those with breast cancer, where current statistics show that one in seven Irish women will develop breast cancer before they reach the age of 75 with over 3,587 cases diagnosed annually.

The students have undergone weeks of rigorous training leading up to the event and its sure to be an action-packed night.

Tickets are €25 from eventbrite.ie
