Third annual Susie Long Memorial Walk takes place this afternoon

People who’ve died from cancer are being remembered at an event in Kilkenny today.

The third annual Susie Long Memorial Walk takes place this afternoon  – in memory of the woman who brought her struggles as a public patient onto a national forum.

Susie Long died from bowel cancer in 2007 – after waiting 7 months for a diagnosis from the time of her GP’s referal.

Susie’s husband Conor Mac Liam will attend the walk.
