\nSarah said \u00a0\u201cYesterday I was walking along Portstewart Beach and the weather was delightful, if a bit cold, and today we were faced with snow, sleet and stormy winds!\u00a0 But it is all worth it to help launch such a worthy charities event, Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke Run to Remember at Benone.\u00a0 Coming from the area I absolutely love what\u2019s on offer here on the North Coast and Benone is one of those gems.\u00a0 I am really looking forward to taking part on the day, even though I might walk a bit of it!\u00a0 And the weather today must be a sign of a good day come on 14th<\/sup> March.\u00a0 All you need to do is visit www.nichs.org.uk\/benone<\/a> and click the link to register then you will receive your fundraising pack and the event details.\u00a0 I hope to see you all there!\u201d<\/p>\n

NICHS are looking for runners or walkers to either run to remember someone they\u2019ve lost to a chest, heart or stroke illness or for a friend or family member who is living with one of these conditions every day.<\/p>\n

Kerry Anderson, Direct or of Fundraising explains \u201cRun to Remember at Benone \u00a0is about remembering the 20 people who die every day in Northern Ireland from chest, heart or stroke illnesses as well as these conditions.\u00a0 The money you raise is used by us for the care and prevention of chest, heart and stroke illnesses in your local area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerry continued \u201cWe work with people who have these conditions and their families, offering crucial practical and emotional support at what can be one of the most difficult times of their lives. Our support groups provide an opportunity for people to come together and share experiences while benefitting from a structured programme of activities including rehabilitation, exercise and information about their conditions. We do health promotion work in schools, with the homeless and in the workplace. We fund research relating to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care. And we campaign at Assembly level for the people who are affected by these conditions and their families. So thank-you so much for the money you are raising. It will really make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
