Thumbs up Livestrong Global cancer summit

This is being held here in Dublin Ireland this year and i've been fortunate to have been accepted as a volunteer and partake in a small way of this wonderful event.
I've been meeting/greeting delegates at the airport from Brazil, Uganda and Ethiopia to name only a few countries partaking in this.
It's been a wonderful experience and Lance Armstrong has been cycling around Ireland in the tour ireland race to promote the event.
It brings together health ministers and leaders from so many different countries but all with the same goal, to eradicate this disease !!!
I was thrilled to help out in a small part of this and urge anyone wondering about volunteering to go for it!
It was a great experience
