BioBank Ireland MDS Fundraiser – April 2nd

Back to All News

Save the date – on April 2nd Will Mullin will host a BioBank MDS fundraiser before he sets off on his most gruelling challenge yet. Will is competing in Marathon Des Sables, the toughest footrace on earth – a gruelling 257km six marathon, six-day challenge in 30 – 50-degree heat in the Sahara Desert with his clothes, food and sleeping gear on his back.

Join Will for a music and fun filled evening, with BYO wine and great Asian food. Tickets are limited to 80 seats so make sure to confirm your booking in advance – see the event page for more details.

Will is competing to raise awareness and much needed funds for BioBank Ireland. BioBank Ireland freezes and provides cancer tissue samples to the extensive research in the area. In turn this aids the development of new less toxic treatments that ultimately block further cancer growth. His family has benefitted enormously from the work BioBank do and Will wants to raise much needed funds and awareness.

If you are unable to come on the night but would still like to contribute to BioBank Ireland – please visit his fundraising page to make a donation.
