12 Dips for a Cause with The Mad Yokes!
At the start of this year, I was chasing finish lines: three half marathons, cycling, swimming, hiking and always working towards the next goal.
I never imagined that a few months later, I'd be taking on a very different kind of challenge!
Following investigations into intermittent chest discomfort, I discovered that I have coronary artery disease, with some narrowing in two of my coronary arteries.
Thankfully, no intervention is currently required, and I'm being managed with ongoing monitoring.
It's been another reminder that heart disease doesn't always look the way we expect. You can be fit and active, yet still have underlying heart disease.
So, rather than sitting this one out, I've decided to turn the experience into something positive and take part in the Irish Heart Foundation's 12 Dips Challenge, alongside my fantastic team, The Mad Yokes! 🏊♀️🫶🏻
Together, we're taking the plunge to raise funds and awareness, support vital research and help the Irish Heart Foundation continue its incredible work supporting people and families affected by heart disease.
I'd be so grateful for any support you can give. Whether it's a few euro, the price of a coffee or simply sharing our fundraising page, every little bit helps and means so much.
Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the last few months. Your kindness and friendship have meant more than you know.
12 dips, one team, one very important cause.
Let's make a splash for heart health!
Thank you so much for your support. 🫶🏻🤍
