Help protect hearts in Ireland
This December, I'm taking part in the Irish Heart Foundation’s 12 Dips in December challenge in memory of my Grandad, Leonard Keogh ❤️
In July 2023, Leonard suffered a serious cardiac arrest. Already living with heart disease and recovering from a stroke, this was another huge challenge. Soon after, tests revealed stomach cancer. What followed was a difficult journey of surgery, rehabilitation, remission, a terminal diagnosis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In the end, cancer took our beloved Lenny from us ❤️🩹
This will be our families first Christmas without him. The Irish Heart Foundation provided staff in the hospital such an important role in supporting our family after Leonard’s cardiac arrest, guidance and compassion gave us hope and, most importantly more precious time together.
Though we lost him to cancer, that extra time, 13 beautiful months, was a gift 💛More stories, more laughs, and more memories we’ll cherish forever.
Every freezing dip this December is for Leonard, for his strength, his smile, his humour, his resilience and of course there was nothing like my grandads unique Saturday night fever 🪩
