Terri O’Riordan

Terri completed a full marathon on her mobility scooter with a little bit of support from Clooney, her 13 year old dog.

“I suffered a stroke in 2012 and I know it continues to affect many people in Ireland today, so I was keen to raise money for the IHF.

I set a target for €1,100 (€100 for each year since my stroke) and the response has exceeded all expectations. I’m very grateful to all those who have donated to this great cause.”

Lynne Hyde

The courageous Lynne completed a skydive in memory of her Father who passed away from a heart condition.

Her incredible bravery raised €3,585 for the Irish Heart Foundation. It looked amazing! Thank you so much Lynne ♥

Enda Lyons

Enda completed a 24 hour walk a thon in memory of his mother Monica.

“It has been the most physically and mentally challenging event I have ever done in my life and I honestly don’t think I could have got through it without the support and generosity of so many people.”
