The Irish Heart Foundation aim to improve the cardiovascular health of people living in Ireland so they do not experience disability or die from preventable heart, stroke and other blood vessel diseases.

Paddy Power said “We’re over the moon to have the Irish Heart Foundation on board as our charity of the year, it’s a charity that has touched many lives here in Ireland and everyone here at Paddy Power is looking forward to raising funds for such a worthy cause.”

Michael O’Shea, Chief Executive of the Irish Heart Foundation said “As the national charity fighting Ireland’s no.1 killer – heart disease and stroke – we are delighted to be chosen by the staff at Paddy Power. This partnership will raise much-needed funds to help save lives through our prevention programmes and resuscitation training and provide vital patient support. You might say Ireland’s hearts are odds on favourite to win thanks to Paddy Power.”
