Fundraising in support of the Dillon Quirke Foundation

Dillon Quirke was just 24 years old when he collapsed and died while playing the sport he loved in 2022. He lost his life to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), a condition that claims the lives of two young people every week in Ireland.

Determined that no other family should suffer the same heartbreak, Dillon’s family set up the Dillon Quirke Foundation to protect young athletes through life-saving cardiac screening.

DQF works with sports clubs across Ireland to provide free or part-funded heart screenings for young players. Since launching in 2024, more than 17,000 young people have already been screened, with many lives saved thanks to early intervention.

Their mission is simple: to raise awareness of SADS, to make cardiac screening a right for young athletes, and to prevent more families from experiencing the devestation of SADS.

Dillon’s legacy is saving lives. Together, we can help to create a safer future for young athletes in Ireland…
one heart at a time!
