Vicky Phelan pens poignant tribute following death of Lynsey Bennett and shares health update

Vicky Phelan has shared a poignant tribute in memory of fellow Cervical Check activist Lynsey Bennett, who died yesterday at the age of 34.

Brave mum-of-two Lynsey was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and endured three years of chemotherapy. She passed away at her home in Longford on Thursday.
