Derry Girls Creator and Writer Lisa McGee becomes Action Cancer Patron!📢 We are absolutely delighted to announce that 43-year-old Irish Playwright and Screenwriter Lisa McGee has become Patron of Action Cancer’s breast screening service for women aged 40-49 and 70+. Screening is available at Action Cancer House and also on board our Big Bus (supported by SuperValu and Centra) which travels to 200 locations across Northern Ireland annually. 🚌 Following her recent mammogram Lisa said: “As a busy working mum that travels a lot I know just how hard it is to find time in the schedule for an appointment like this but you have to make it a priority. Don’t let it slip to the bottom of your to-do list. Screening saves lives, the sooner breast cancer is detected, the better the outcome.” “I was blown away on learning about the range of cancer prevention, detection and support services that Action Cancer delivers to local people and how dedicated and caring the staff are in making a real difference. I’m delighted to lend my support to this wonderful charity in becoming Patron of the breast screening service.” 💗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eTv3_42M #LisaMcGee #DerryGirls #ActionCancer #SavingLivesSupportingPeople
