I am running the Dublin marathon this year for CROÍ, which is a dedicated West of Ireland heart and stroke charity (please see below for further details on CROÍ).

Unfortunately, following the death of my father from a stroke, I am fully aware of the devastating effects which a stroke had on my father and also on my family. Given that stroke is the third most common cause of death in Ireland and kills more than 2,000 people a year, we are one of many families who have been affected by this cause of death.

CROÍ are constantly investing in research to advance treatment and care options to improve health outcomes for patients affected by cardiovascular disease and stroke while also developing cardiac and stroke services and facilities throughout the region and I am hoping to raise funds to help this good work which they are doing in the hope that other families will not have to endure what my family has gone through.

I have recently completed the Dublin race series which consists of four races (5 mile, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon) so training is going relatively well so I am hoping to register a respectable time!

I would really appreciate any donation.

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Dave.

Croi Fighting Heart Disease & Stroke

Croí is a registered charity established in Galway in 1985, with its main aim to lead the fight against heart disease and stroke, with a special focus on the West of Ireland. Over the years, Croí has impacted positively at virtually every level of cardiac care in the West, from pre-hospital to post-hospital recovery and rehabilitation to providing support services to patients and their family members.

The challenges facing people living with heart disease and stroke are now greater than any that have come before. The risk of serious complications with COVID-19 is higher for people living with heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity. I
