In April, I will be running the Madrid marathon in memory of my dad Eamon, who tragically passed away from a heart attack 30 years ago this year, at the age of 40.

His untimely passing left a profound and lasting impact on all our lives, motivating me to raise funds for the NI Chest, Heart, and Stroke charity, with the hope of sparing other families from experiencing the same heartache.

Chest, Heart and Stroke is dedicated to providing vital support, research, and education to combat these devastating conditions.

Your support can have a real impact in the fight against cardiac disease.
