Happy Heart Appeal 2015

Munster’s Stephen Archer, Andrew Smith and Eusebio Guinazu get behind the Irish Heart Foundation’s Happy Heart Appeal which takes place this Friday and Saturday. The Irish Heart Foundation is one of Munster Rugby’s nominated charities for the current season.

Pictured with the lads is seven year old stroke survivor Oscar Power from Charleville in Cork.

‘Happy Heart’ is a national appeal for donations to tackle stroke and heart disease – the number one cause of death in Ireland which claims more than one life every hour. This week thousands of volunteers will take to the streets and shopping centres of Ireland selling the iconic happy heart badges and all proceeds go to help families in Ireland through the Irish Heart Foundation’s programmes in care, prevention and research. Visit your local Shaws or SuperValu stores to buy a happy heart pin or Text Happy to 50300 to give €;4.
