The Committee and Trustees of OGCancerNI wish you and your families a healthy and peaceful Christmas.
May the spirit of love which comes at Christmas time fill your homes and your lives and linger there long after the tree is down and the lights are put away.
Our grateful thanks to everyone who volunteered and donated to help us during this exceptionally busy year.
If Christmas is the spirit of giving without the thought of getting, you are Christmas personified. We couldn’t do any of this without you.
