The O’Neill Family fundraising for Irish Heart Foundation

On 7th November, we’ll be taking on the Eyeries 5 Mile to raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation, in memory of our dad, who sadly passed away suddenly in January this year. Hugh was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather, and his loss has left a huge hole in all of our lives. We wanted to do something positive in his memory while supporting a charity that works to prevent heart disease and save lives. It’s been quite a while since any of us have run properly, so this is definitely a challenge! We’ve all started our own Couch to 5K programmes and will be working towards being ready to take on the full 5 miles in November — something we’ll be incredibly proud to do for Dad. Every donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to us and will help the Irish Heart Foundation continue its important work. Here’s to Dad — we’ll be running those 5 miles for you. ❤️ Thank you so much for your support.

About Irish Heart Foundation

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in both men and women. The tragic reality is – around 16 people will have a heart attack today. Just today, and every other day. And on each of those days, 20 others will have a stroke. These are extraordinary and stark facts. But the equally remarkable – and hopeful – reality is: 80% of early heart disease and stroke cases are preventable. That’s why the Irish Heart Foundation has been here for 60 years. Here to lead the charge to protect the cardiovascular health of everyone in Ireland. Here, to eliminate preventable death or disability. Here to collaborate. Here, not just as one of Ireland’s most trusted and effective charities, but to build a lifesaving movement across the country. We are here regardless of age, background or means. Here for every community, every school, and every workplace. Here for every heartbeat.
