I'm taking part in the Irish Heart Foundation's 60 in September Challenge to support the vital work they do for heart health across Ireland.

The cause became very personal for me recently when I was admitted to the CCU following a chest pain episode. Thankfully, all tests came back clear, but the experience was a powerful reminder of how important heart health is and how quickly life can change.

I'm fortunate to have come away with a positive outcome, and I'd like to use that experience to raise awareness and funds for a charity that supports so many people and families every year.

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.
