We encourage you to do your best to reach this goal, but it is important to take some rest days too. You might also like to set your own personal goal. This challenge encourages you to move more, so even if you can increase your average distance, you are making a difference. If you have any health concerns before taking part, please consult a medical professional.

ABOUT THE CHARITY
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in both men and women.
The tragic reality is – around 16 people will have a heart attack today. Just today, and every other day. And on each of those days, 20 others will have a stroke.
These are extraordinary and stark facts. But the equally remarkable – and hopeful – reality is: 80% of early heart disease and stroke cases are preventable.
That’s why the Irish Heart Foundation has been here for 60 years.
Here to lead the charge to protect the cardiovascular health of everyone in Ireland. Here, to eliminate preventable death or disability. Here to collaborate. Here, not just as one of Ireland’s most trusted and effective charities, but to build a lifesaving movement across the country.
We are here regardless of age, background or means. Here for every community, every school, and every workplace.
Here for every heartbeat.
Step up to the challenge—register now and take the first stride toward 60 miles in September!
