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.

My personal story is that I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 at 40. Following this I had a hysterectomy in 2024 aged 42, which put me into a Surgical Menopause. I can’t take HRT which means I’ve entered early menopause and now face a higher risk of heart disease.

What many people don’t realise is that heart disease is the biggest killer of women in Ireland - more than all cancers combined. Yet it doesn’t get talked about enough, especially in relation to menopause and women’s health.

I’m taking part to protect my own heart, and to raise awareness for others who may not know they’re at risk. Knowledge is power. 

If you can, please donate or share. Every step I take is for stronger, healthier hearts - starting with mine. ❤️
