A Cork farmer has donated a
26-month-old Hereford bullock for sale at an auction at Cork Co-Op, Bandon, on Monday next, July 12, at 1:00p.m, to raise funds for Cork ARC Cancer Support House.
Gerard Hurley from Crowhill, Innishannon, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2010. “It all happened very suddenly,” he said.
“My daughter, Mary, noticed a lump on my throat one Sunday morning and I was with my GP the following morning. The blood tests showed up clear but I got a referral into the South Infirmary for a biopsy within a week.
“Professor Seamus O’Reilly told me it was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and that they would move straight away on treatment. It was a shock but what can you do. I just got on with it and worked away,” said Gerard.
