Descripción

This week marks International HS Awareness Week, a campaign dedicated to raising awareness of hidradenitis suppurativa, or HS, a painful long-term inflammatory skin condition that affects more than 74,000 people in Ireland. Despite its prevalence, HS remains largely misunderstood, with many sufferers facing years of symptoms before receiving a diagnosis. One person working to change that is Parteen native Barry McGrath, who lives with the condition himself and is Chairperson of HS Ireland. Barry joined Alan Morrissey to share his personal experience, discuss the challenges faced by those living with HS, and highlight the importance of greater awareness and support.

Can“Cancer Take A Hike” Event Set For Scenic Kilkee Coastline

Alan Morrissey was joined by Dearbhaile O’Hare and Karen Kruger, organisers of the upcoming “Cancer Take A Hike” event taking place in Kilkee on the 13th of June.  The group will set off from Diamond Rocks Café and follow the breathtaking Kilkee Cliff Walk, a gentle 12km out-and-back coastal route along one of the most dramatic stretches of the Atlantic coastline.   Participants will pass landmarks such as Bishop’s Island, St Kee’s Well, and the ruins of Dunlicky Castle, with plenty of time to pause, take in the sea views, and enjoy good company along the way.  After the hike, there’s an optional recovery experience with a sauna, ice bath, or hot tub at An Botháinín Sauna for those who want to unwind and recharge.  The event is free to take part in, with donations welcome in support of West Clare Cancer Support. It promises fresh air, connection, and a powerful message at its heart—quite literally, to tell cancer to take a hike. Photo (c) Cancer Take A Hike
