Gold Ribbon Heroes - Childhood Cancer Ireland

We are delighted to honour the experiences of children, adolescents and young adults with cancer and their families.

Our Gold Ribbon Heroes are not only children and young people with cancer, but also those around them who have gone above and beyond to make life easier along the way. And of course, not forgetting our Super Sibs who are there for every step of the journey.
