Derry Bros have committed to supporting Cancer Research UK throughout 2010. The Derry Bros team chose this charity above others simply because several members have seen the effects that this disease can have on victims, their families and friends. "we have provided some financial support to the charity, however we aim to raise more money through a series of event this year" says Brigid Derry MD.
