Cork business owner says it's more important now than ever before to support Breakthrough Cancer Research
Rob Horgan of Velo coffee, who lost his mother to cancer this year, is taking part the "Buy Back Time" fundraising appeal
Rob Horgan is donating all the proceeds of online sales of Velo BMX ground coffee directly to the organisation who have lost valuable research time due to the impact of the pandemic.
It's part of the "Buy Back Time" fundraising appeal which hopes to make up for lost time on life saving research which can save a person's life and prevent their family and friends from losing them.
Speaking to RedFM News Rob says everyone has been affected in this country either directly or indirectly by cancer, and funds for research are essential:
