WHAT a result! The National Breast Cancer Research Institute together with Galway Racecourse have announced that the recent Race in Pink fundraising event at Ballybrit on Sunday, October 28th, which included jockeys wearing pink breeches for one of the races, raised a staggering €95,000 for the charity.

The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is an Irish charity that raises funds in support of the breast cancer research team lead by Professor Michael Kerin based at the Lambe Institute, NUI Galway. The support of local and national business and the huge amount of people who came to the event ensured this was one of the most successfully fundraising events ever.
