F#@K CANCER Campaign

When Greg Mulligan's  brother Bernie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Esophageal cancer, Greg designed the F#@K CANCER shamrock and began the campaign with a Facebook group where he could vent his frustration at this disease. 

Mulligan's brother was told this condition was present in him for 8 or 10 years and went undiagnosed because it carried no signs or symptoms. "I started this over a year ago when my brother was diagnosed with stage 4 esophagus cancer" said Greg, and he picked the Shamrock design because, "we are Irish and  the shamrock represents luck".  Luck for his brother and everyone walking around without symptoms who may be diagnosed with this condition.

Bernie Mulligan passed away from this disease at the age of 45, on October 1st, 2012.  In memory of Bernie and in support of all those going undiagnosed or suffering with this disease, we urge you to get involved and support the efforts of Greg Mulligan.

 The F#@K CANCER design is on t-shirts and proceeds from those sales  "help people with early detection.  All proceeds from my shirt sales goes back to people fighting this disease and I have sent money to hospice and other organization," explained Greg.

You can show your support by joining Greg Mulligan's Facebook group or buy the t-shirts and help him, help people with early detection.  You can contact Greg directly at gmmulligan@sympatico.ca
