The annual Run and Walk for Life takes place on October 11 (Dungarvan) and October 12 (Waterford) next.
It's the largest annual fundraiser for the Solas Cancer Support Centre which is based in Williamstown in Waterford and at the Alternative Health Clinic in Dungarvan on a Monday.
Last year's event had a whopping 3,900 participants and raised over 185,000 euro.
This morning (Wed) on 'Deise Today', Damien was joined in studio to talk about the upcoming events by Tracy McDaid and Jim Greene.
Tracy is the Manager of Solas, and Jim Greene, is of course, a well known figure in GAA in Waterford as a former county hurler and someone with a long association with Mount Sion.
He told his own story of battling cancer, and how the centre has helped him, as well as the support it provided to his son Brian who has had his own battle with cancer in recent years too.
