A number of well-known Irish cancer survivors are involved in the project - including the likes of Michael Flately, Senator David Norris, author and journalist Emily Horican, milliner to the stars Sarah McGahon, director Stephen Bradley and award-winning children's book author Peter Donnelly to name but a few.
Established to celebrate the contribution cancer survivors make to society and highlight, the charity has set their sights quite high with the aim of raising €2 million this year for ground-breaking new research to develop treatments to tackle drug-resistant cancers.
Cork native Lily Burke is the youngest contributor to the project. Just 10-years-old, she has partnered with illustrator Peter Donnelly to design one of a kind tote bags.
The Hairy Baby Clothing Company has also gotten involved, teaming up with cancer survivors kay McKeon, Michael Healy and Eimer Tynan to create a range of bespoke t-shirts.
Senator Norris will open the shop at midday on Tuesday, February 4th. Housed at 4 Temple Bar, it will stay open until February 11th with the hopes of finding a permanent online or offline space for the store in the future.
There will also be a variety of different workshops and events running throughout the week as well including a hat-making workshop, an introduction to screen-printing by Molesworth Gallery artist Monika Crowley, yoga and wellbeing classes and more.
