Walking for the Hearts that Can't

I am taking part in 10,000 steps a Day in September to raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation and I’d love your support to help protect hearts in Ireland. ❤️

The Irish Heart Foundation’s mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.

Your donation will make a real difference to people and families affected by heart disease and stroke.

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

Getting so so close… eek

Wow, all I can say is wow. I have loved every second of this challenge and journey this month so far. I have enjoyed the new fondness of solitude and calmness of getting out and walking and running like I have never experienced before. I have been so so in awe of the support and kindness my family and friends have shown me to encourage and engage with me every step of the way, like come walking or running with me, watching the boys so I could go walking and most of all I’m so incredibly grateful for every single donations that has been made to me for this great cause. With the help of you all I have blown my wishful funds target out the water completely. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I’d have tripled my target goal.

I have only 7 days left to go and I’m sitting at only needing a little over 13,000 steps to complete the steps challenge and I’m just so thrilled. In my head I feel I may even hit the 300,000 steps tomorrow :) which is crazy.

I’m so delighted that it has gone so well and even on the days that were tougher or hard, whether that be because it was raining or cold or I was feeling unwell, I still got up and done it, and in doing it I still really enjoyed it and found in myself that I am way more resilient than I give myself credit for or that I ever thought I could be. 

I’m so thankful for my friends going on daily walks with me to keep me company and make the mornings go by even quicker. To every story interaction, to every voice note on instagram that encouraged me and kept me company on the walks. Know I have seen and appreciate every single one. 

I have really enjoyed spending extra time walking with my mam, us walking and getting in our practice Disney step training with my you and hopefully encouraging us both while we watch not so patiently out countdown get smaller and smaller has been so amazing :) I loved it and thank you for being my cheerleader. I love you. 

And to the love of my life, my best friend - my better half- my husband Eoin, who has happily gone out walking at all unsocial hours in the pitch dark, the rain and the wind, and never did anything but jump to encourage and support me. You never resisted not even once, even after you would work a tiresome day and your battery be low, you always find that extra energy and time to give to me and be by my side and I appreciate it more than I’ll ever be able to express. Knowing you believe in me makes me believe in myself 10x times more. Your support to me over all the many years, 15+ and especially this year being as transformative for me as it has been, all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly. I love you beyond words - and I always have, and always will, forever and always - Your Amy xx

Learning to love moving a lil more.

2025 has been a big year for me. The best year ever for my health and confidence mainly. I’m feeling very motivated and have had the best support from all my family and friends. I’m down 5stone this year and feel that I can do anything. I first completed the women’s mini marathon with my girls in June, and now doing this challenge all for a good cause. I’m enjoying being more active and spending extra fun quality time with my hubby and best friend eoin, and our two beautiful boys. This is only the beginning, I would love to think that I can keep increasing my goals and hitting every one of them. 
Thank you so much to everyone for the support and belief in me, for all the donations and all the motivation and kind words of encouragement :)
