Brave hearted men and women wanted for Big Heart Fight Night

ARE you looking for a new challenge in 2016? Then the Irish Heart Foundation may have exactly what you are looking for as it launches its Ballina Big Heart Fight Night this week.

The Irish Heart Foundation (IHF) is currently seeking people to sign up to become part of the fight night, which will take place in March, with training starting in January.

“This is a great opportunity to be trained by the best of the best, so you get the opportunity to get fit while having fun,” said IHF regional manager Breffni Gorman.

“To add to the enjoyment of it all, you raise funds to help the Irish Heart Foundation, which is the national charity fighting heart disease and stroke - currently Ireland's biggest killers.”

Local businesses are also being invited to get involved in the fight night. Companies can sponsor a member of their staff as a competitor or they can sponsor any of the boxers who sign up.

If you are interested in taking part or would like to find out more about this challenge, contact Breffni on (086) 3806941 or bgorman@irishheart.ie.

Tickets for the event, priced at €20, will be available shortly. People interested in taking part can register on www.irishheart.ie/boxing.
