A nationwide financial intermediary with offices in Tralee have donated €20,000 to cancer research.
Ask Acorn, with offices on Ashe St., raised the funds for Breakthrough Cancer Research through the company’s annual Environmental, Social and Governance programme.
The funds will directly support research into poorer prognosis cancers with limited treatment options.
Monies raised for Breakthrough Cancer directly fund new treatment discoveries, clinical trials, and innovations that could dramatically improve outcomes for people diagnosed with difficult-to-treat cancers.
The charity was selected by Ask Acorn through a company-wide nomination process, with employees putting forward causes that hold personal meaning.
The organisation supports cutting-edge, patient-focused research across Ireland, including projects at the University College Cork, Cork University Hospital, Bon Secours Cork and MTU. These include advances in overcoming treatment resistance, earlier detection through identification new biomarkers, next-gen immunotherapy and personalised medicine through initiatives like Precision Oncology Ireland.
“At Ask Acorn, protection is at the core of what we do,” said Pius Horgan, Branch Manager, Tralee, Kerry for Ask Acorn. “It’s not just about financial protection — it’s about safeguarding futures in every sense. Many of us have experienced the impact of cancer up close, and we’re proud to help fund research that offers real hope to patients and families across the country.”
