Heroes of Hope Exhibition

This year, over 3,400 men in Ireland will hear the words: 'you have prostate cancer'.  However, for most, such a diagnosis does not mark the end of their journey.  Thanks to early detection and advances in treatment, there are over 26,000 prostate cancer survivors in Ireland today.  Over 90% of men diagnosed with the disease will survive.  While coping with cancer treatment can be difficult, the Marie Keating Foundation is shining a light on these stories of prostate cancer survival to give hope and support to men affected by the disease.  The 'Heroes of Hope’ exhibition shares the experience of 15 different men who have survived this cancer.  These men have one thing in common: they are living proof that while being diagnosed with prostate cancer will change your life, there is life after it.  The exhibition has now moved to the Aviva Stadium and will be there until the end of March 2017.  It is in an outdoor area of the stadium, beside Lansdowne Road West, at the DART underpass.  This area is permanently open and accessible for visits at anytime.  The exhibition will be on display here during the Six Nations rugby matches as well as during two soccer internationals.
