We’ve paired up with the Irish Cancer Society to create The Pink Brigade, a team made up of Her.ie staffers and our fab readers, who will run, walk or jog all over cancer in this year’s Flora Women’s Mini Marathon! 

We’d love for you to join us, you can find all the info you need right here, drop us a line and we’ll include you on our email list for training tips, inspirational stories and much more – and we’ll all work towards our June goal together!
