The Law Society of Northern Ireland has helped to raise £18,000 for Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI, the only charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to blood cancer research.
The money was raised through a series of events held throughout the year involving members of the legal profession.
Brigid Napier, president of the Law Society, presented a cheque for the £18,000 sum to Richard Buchanan, chair of Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI, at the Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research on Friday.
“On behalf of the Law Society I am delighted to be handing over this cheque for £18,000 which I know will help support Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI who work tirelessly to improve outcomes and quality of life for blood cancer patients,” Ms Napier said.
Welcoming the fundraising effort, Mr Buchanan said: “Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI is grateful to the Law Society of Northern Ireland for helping to raise awareness of the work which we provide and for the money raised which will contribute to our ongoing laboratory research, education and clinical support.”
