Arctic Challenge 2026

Help Protect Hearts in Ireland

I am taking part in Arctic Challenge 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.

Join Me in Taking on the Arctic Challenge for the Irish Heart Foundation

Saturday 3rd Jan


Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page, I really appreciate you being here.


In March, I’ll be heading 350 km north of the Arctic Circle to take part in a demanding and unforgettable adventure with the Irish Heart Foundation, the Arctic Challenge. This expedition will take us across frozen lakes, teach us survival skills in extreme cold, and even includes camping in temperatures as low as -20 °C under the Northern Lights. 


Why I’m Doing This


I’m excited (and if I’m honest, a little frightened!) by the Arctic Challenge itself. It’s going to test me physically and mentally. Part of this journey for me involves getting fitter and healthier so that I can take on the challenge. I see this as more than just training for a specific event, it’s a real opportunity to improve my own heart health while supporting others whose lives are affected by heart conditions and stroke.


Every single donation, whether it’s €5, €20, or €50, will make a real difference. Your support helps provide vital services, from community heart health programmes to support for stroke survivors and their families. Together, we can help prevent needless suffering and give people better chances of living long, full lives.



Your Support Means the World

Thank you for visiting this page.

Every donation  and every share of this page with friends and family  brings me closer to meeting the target and helps the Irish Heart Foundation continue their essential work.


👉 Thank you for being part of this journey ❤️
