A group is embarking on a 350km journey north of the Arctic Circle to raise funds and awareness for the Irish Heart Foundation, focusing on women's heart health. With nearly €100,000 already raised, the expedition highlights the alarming statistic that one in four women in Ireland dies from heart disease, a number significantly higher than those affected by breast cancer. Personal motivations from participants reflect a stronger understanding of cardiovascular risks, especially within families, emphasizing the urgent need for increased research and attention to women's heart conditions under the 'Her Heart Matters' campaign.
These women are taking on this challenge to raise funds and awareness as part of our 'Her Heart Matters' campaign, shining a vital light on women's heart health.
My dad had a heart attack at 50 and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at the same time. It's frightening.
