One Dublin coffee haven is giving away free coffee this Friday for a great cause.
3fe, a popular café in Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, will be leading the effort to raise money for a friend in her fight against Cancer.
Owner Colin Harmon tweeted the news last night.

He asked that while the coffee is free, it would be much appreciated if patrons made a donation in support of Rashel Winn, Ireland’s Brewer Cup Champion.
On a GoFundMe page set up to assist Rashel, her father writes:
“Last spring Rashel was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Doctors in Ireland surgically removed what they hoped was all of the cancer through a radical hysterectomy. Several weeks passed, and things appeared to be moving in the right direction.
“After a couple months, Rashel started having pain which the doctors in Dublin addressed. I felt they moved a little slow however, I gave the doctors the benefit of the doubt that they were going about further treatment in the right way.
“In late December, Rashel got an infection, resulting in more hospital time, tests and treatment.
“She has been between St. Luke’s and St. Vincent’s hospitals in Dublin for the past 3 weeks with tubes in both kidneys to help them to stay “clean” and to get her body to a point where she can handle the upcoming radiation scheduled for the end of March, continuing for 5 weeks.
“Her oncologist words to me last week were straight and sharp, “Eric, it doesn’t look good”.”
The family are seeking funds to pursue alternative medical treatment.
We’ll definitely be swinging by.
