Now recently, ‘Notorious’ has donated €10,000 towards the cause of helping women that are battling breast cancer. Dublin mum Gemma Devoy set the GoFundMe campaign this week to help women with breast cancer. The mother of one started this campaign after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I would really appreciate any donation, big or small. On the night of the benefit, I will be shaving my own hair along with other people that will be dying their hair, shaving their heads, or getting waxed. This money could really help a lot of women going through a very dark time. Every single penny raised will be going to charity.”
