On Friday 16 August, Kilruane MacDonaghs GAA and Camogie Club, through the Dillon Quirke Foundation, is offering the first of three days of free cardiac screening to local players who are aged between 12 and 18 years.
This comes after earlier this month, the foundation announced it has provided cardiac screening for over 7,000 young people so far this year.
Screenings have been conducted in every county in Ireland in partnership with 161 sports clubs, including GAA, soccer, rugby, boxing and performing arts clubs.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation was established by the family of Tipperary hurler Dillon Quirke, who collapsed and died during a hurling match at Semple Stadium in August 2022.
The Foundation’s aims are to promote awareness of the importance of cardiac screening in preventing SADs and to provide cardiac screening opportunities for young people nationwide, working in partnership with Advanced Medical Services (AMS), a provider of onsite medical services.
For clubs enquiring about booking a screening day, please contact: screening@dillonquirkefoundation.com
