PM HARRIS EXPRESSES CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF
MS. AGNES FARRELL, PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF THE REACH FOR RECOVERY BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION
Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris extends his heartfelt condolences, and those of the Government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis, to the family and loved ones of Ms. Agnes Farrell.
Ms. Agnes Farrell, a much beloved and inspirational breast cancer survivor who founded the Reach for Recovery SKB Breast Cancer Support Group, has died.
After receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in 1998 and completing her radiation and chemotherapy in Trinidad and Tobago in July 1999, Ms. Farrell formed the first-ever organized cancer support group in the Federation when she returned home to St. Kitts. The group officially became Reach for Recovery in February 2002.
