Walking, Running & Jogging for the Hearts that Can't

I am taking part in 60 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.
We are here for every heartbeat.

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

Day 16

Wednesday 16th Sep
Hi everyone 
A very Wet Wild & Windy West today… met  absolutely no one on the road today… and rather silly of me took a different route than usual that didn’t take me past the pub… didn’t think that one through did I , because if I had I could have taken refuge when the skies  opened and treated myself to a hot whiskey… Tomorrow I will make better route planning decisions 😄
Keep looking after those big beautiful hearts

Just a quick thank you  to everyone who has donated so far … you’re all so incredibly generous.
Today would have been my sister Mary’s birthday, and as I’m walking in her memory ( & my Dads) it has added a special poignancy for the days that’s in it. 
Can’t wait to get out on the 1st September 
and justify your faith in and support of me
Thank you all xx
