The Heffernan Family fundraising for Irish Heart Foundation
“Walking the Camino in memory of Michael Heffernan” Thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. 10 years ago on the 4th November 2015 our beloved Daddy and brilliant husband lost his life to cardiac arrest. This year to mark his untimely passing the Heffernan family along with 30 of our friends and family will be completing the Camino De Frances pilgrimage walk. Starting on the 5th October, we will cover 111km over 5 short days. In conjunction with our journey, we hope to support a cause close to us- the Irish Heart Foundation. This organisation is dedicated to preventing premature death and disability from heart disease and stroke. We would greatly appreciate any contributions to this worthy charity.
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.
