GREAT news from nine-time champion flat jockey Pat Smullen and champion fundraiser. He recently presented a cheque from Cancer Trials Ireland to doctors in St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin to fund a state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing (NGS) machine. This donation is a direct result of the money raised on Pat’s behalf at last September’s Longines Irish Champions Weekend which culminated in the Pat Smullen Champions Race for Cancer Trials Ireland at the Curragh.

“I’m delighted the generosity that people showed is having impacts like this, and I look forward to seeing more opportunities for people with pancreatic cancer open up very soon,” said Pat.
