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.

Why I’m Running 60km for the Irish Heart Foundation ❤️

Wednesday 26th Aug
This challenge feels particularly close to my heart.
When my little boy Conor was in hospital, we spent a lot of time surrounded by other little warriors and their families. After one of his first surgeries, Conor spent over two weeks in the Cardiac PICU in Crumlin. Those weeks are difficult to put into words, but one of the things I remember most is how many incredibly brave little children we met there — tiny people going through things that no child should ever have to face, and parents showing an incredible amount of strength beside them. ❤️
Even though Conor’s journey is a little different, one of his surgeries was cardiac too, so the work of the Irish Heart Foundation feels very personal to me. We still have a few little heart-survivor friends from those hospital days, and seeing how far these children have come is something really special.
So, because I run anyway (and apparently I enjoy making life slightly harder for myself 😂), I’ve decided to run 60km to raise money for the Irish Heart Foundation.
I’m doing it for the little heart warriors we met, for their families, for the children who are still fighting, and for the amazing people who care for them and help give them a chance at a healthy future. ❤️
If you’d like to support me, even a small donation would mean a lot. There’s absolutely no pressure — simply sharing the fundraiser or cheering me on from the sidelines counts too! 🥰
Thank you for helping me turn a few kilometres into something meaningful. Every little bit can help make a difference to a little heart. ❤️
