Fiona's marathon run for IHF fundraising for Irish Heart Foundation in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2024

IHF is a charity that is very important to me. Since my stroke in 2019, they have provided me with invaluable information, guidance and support. I'm a member of their Young Stroke Survivor Network which is a group that unfortunately, is rapidly increasing in numbers. The Irish Heart Foundation offers many free services that patients, families and carers can avail of - information talks, support groups, nurse support line, stroke connect service, counselling, exercise classes and various courses etc. It's not all doom and gloom, there's been many meet ups, laughs and new friendships built throughout my recovery journey. I'm running the Dublin Marathon to raise funds so the Irish Heart Foundation can continue to provide the vital care and support that stroke survivors and heart patients need post-hospital discharge. If you could donate any amount, big or small, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! Thank you Fiona 💖

Owner messages:

Thank you all so very much for your very generous donations to my fundraiser. I am delighted with the incredible amount that was raised. I am equally relieved that I finished it and all the training is behind me!

About Irish Heart Foundation

Every hour someone in Ireland suffers from a stroke. Every day, hundreds of Irish people are diagnosed with heart disease. The lives of these people are often cut tragically short. Many are left disabled. Almost 9,000 people die each year, making heart disease and stroke one of the nation’s biggest killers. It shouldn’t be this way and this fact forms our reason for being. We are the nation’s heart and stroke charity. Our mission is to effect positive change in the lifestyles of Irish people, to achieve better outcomes for those affected by heart disease and stroke and to challenge when the health of our nation is put at risk. We empower people to live longer, healthier lives. Thank you for choosing to support us.
