Sisters open up on double grief after losing loved ones to 'silent killer'

Two sisters with a passion for endurance events will be using pedal power to cycle non-stop around NI in just two days to raise awareness about pancreatic cancer.

The disease, known as "the silent killer", claimed the lives of one sister’s husband and the other’s best friend. Living with the grief of losing two loved ones, Andrea Harrower, from Dromara and her sister Cathy Booth, from Hillsborough, will set out on their epic 480 miles journey this Friday.

The idea for the challenge was Andrea’s husband, Paddy Harrower’s just five days before he died. The former PE teacher from Wallace High School had only 14-weeks to live from diagnosis on Easter Sunday, April 17 2022 to his death on July 24.
