Professor behind Pause for Hope service reflects ahead of 25th event
The annual Pause for Hope service takes place later this month, providing an opportunity to reflect and remember those affected by cancer across our region.
The Pause For Hope Service was set up by the founder of Roy Castle Lung Foundation, Professor Ray Donnelly. This year's keynote speaker is Dean Sullivan, who played Jimmy Corkhill in the long-running soap Brookside. Here Professor Donnelly explains what the service to him, and why it is so important to those affected by cancer.
Praying together, singing together, listening together, lighting candles for loved ones and friends living with or lost to cancer, the mix of prayers, music and reflections moved the hearts and minds of those present giving them a real sense of hope and consolation.
