Canice and the late Abe.
The sudden death of his brother-in-law from a heart attack in 2021 has inspired Borris-in-Ossory man Canice Sheeran to climb again for charity.
Last year Canice, along with a few colleagues, climbed the Devils Bit for Charlie Bird’s chosen charities Pieta and the Irish Motor Neurone Association. This year he is off again and has decided along with family and friends to do it for the Irish Heart Foundation in memory of his brother-in-law, the late Abe Kavanagh.
Abe passed away following a sudden heart attack on Christmas Day 2021. Abe was one of life’s gentlemen. A loving family man, hard worker, a fan of sport of all descriptions, a fantastic friend to all who he came in contact with.
It is hoped this will be a fitting tribute to the great character Abe was, to all who knew him, and also to raise awareness of the Irish Heart Foundation in the battle against heart disease and stroke.
Saturday, April 8 at 9.30am is the time and date chosen for the climb, as its Abe’s birthday. Training has already begun in the dark mornings!
All funds raised will go directly to this great cause. To donate please go to www.idonate.ie/canicesheeran9221, by Revolut to Canice at 087 2071267 or through Facebook idonate.ie.
All donations will be processed securely. Canice thanks you in advance for all support received.
