What is CROSS?
CROSS is aligned to cancer research at Trinity College Dublin and St. James’s Hospital. According to Professor John Reynolds, ‘The cancer research programme in Trinity College has benefited greatly from the support of CROSS. The funds raised from the Legends Rugby Cycle are used to purchase state of the art technologies to enable the work of over 50 cancer researchers across the entire cancer continuum, including prevention, treatment, and survivorship in many different types of cancer. I cannot understate the value of such resources, and sincerely thank all involved, particularly Paul and the entire Wallace family, the organisers, every wonderful participant who takes on this challenge, the many terrific tour volunteers, and the generous sponsors.’
Paul Wallace added, ‘As patron of CROSS, I ask you to come join us for a stage or few stages to support the wonderful work of Professor John Reynolds and the Trinity College cancer researchers.’
