The Irish Heart Foundation-December’s Charity

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Click to see Irish Heart Foundation's WebsiteDecember is charity month here at DoneDeal and this month is in aid of The Irish Heart Foundation.  For each ad placed on the site we give 30 cent to the Foundation to assist in the raising of much needed funds.

Heart disease is Ireland’s No. 1 killer and The Irish Heart Foundation is the national charity fighting stroke and heart disease, over 90% funded by public and corporate donations.  They provide information on heart health, support patients who are managing heart disease and stroke, provide heart health programmes in schools and workplaces, and support research, education and development in the medical profession to improve the patient treatment and services available in Ireland.  Worried about heart or stroke problems?  Call the national helpline on 1890 432 787.

They are working very hard and we couldn’t even begin to list what they are striving to achieve but hopefully, with your help, the DoneDealers will be able to help them out.  Also, if you’re feeling very energetic, you could always take part in their Santa Dash on December 11th which looks like great fun.
