Mug Of Hope

This mug was designed by Belleek Collector & Cancer survivor Johannah Purdon; developed by Belleek's head of design (Fergus Cleary) & beautifully handcrafted by the master craftpeople of Belleek, Ireland 

For every mug sold, Belleek.com will donate 20% of each sale to the chosen cancer charities, helping to fund research into finding a medical cure for a disease that leaves no family untouched.

In Johannah's words;

"I am a survivor! Three words no-one ever wants to hear " You have Cancer!" Me?
- I have Cancer? How is that possible? Your life is forever changed after that. The journey begins with educating yourself on the disease & what treatment is available. Doctors, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists & medical insurance. It seems never ending! Cancer affects everone around you, co-workers, friends & family. Without their support & help it is hard to get through it! I am blessed that my husband was with me all the way, I survived! But I have many co-workers, friends & family who didn't. I have been doing volunteer work since I was a teenager & as I've gotten older & seen all the devestation & heartbreak caused by this dreadful disease, I have volunteered steadily for many Cancer charities
- we need to find a cure! One of the bright spots in my life has been my love of Belleek & the Collectors Society. It has brought me much joy on dark days as have all my Belleek Family! Cancer has taught me to treasure each moment & live life fully. My motto in life has always been
- Live, Laugh, Love, Sing, Dance. Share a hug & tell someone you love them today. Lets all fill these Mugs of Hope & help find the cure for Cancer"
