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

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.
