Miriam Joy from Abbeyfeale is married to Pat Fitzgerald from Castleisland, where they live with their two children. Miriam was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.The only option for Miriam is a change of direction with her treatment. Immunotherapy is a new treatment option that her oncologists have agreed is her best hope. Right now the only way for Miriam to access it is by paying for it privately herself. This will cost a staggering €7000 every three weeks for an indefinite length of time. We want to help.
Who are we?
The Heart of Ireland is a voluntary group who are hoping to raise awareness to the public’s nearest AED phone box defibrillator, by placing them in prominent old style phone boxes nationwide. With this objective, we hope to strengthen the chain of survival in the unfortunate event of a cardiac arrest.
What’s the connection?
Tommy Hassett, our AED phone box manufacturer, is a good friend of the Joy family and has kindly offered to donate a phone box to the value of 3,500 euro, which we are going to raffle off.
The money raised will help fund Miriam’s treatment as well as provide a life saving device for your community
