ABOUT THE DILLON QUIRKE FOUNDATION
The Dillon Quirke Foundation was set up in honour of Dillon Quirke who collapsed during a hurling match and died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) on 5th August 2022 in Semple Stadium, Thurles. The Foundation was subsequently established by Dillon’s family – his parents, Dan and Hazel, and his sisters, Shannon and Kellie – with the aim of funding widespread cardiac screening for young people (aged 12-18 inclusive) involved in sport. Dillon’s family want to prevent other families from going through what they have experienced and, in the process, save lives.
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) takes an average of 100 young lives in Ireland every year. With your help, the Foundation’s aim is to raise awareness and save lives through a cardiac screening programme.
The screening programme, delivered by Advanced Medical Services and funded by the Dillon Quirke Foundation, will perform cardiac screening in sports clubs nationwide with the aim of reducing the incidence of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. Research has shown that cardiac screening can significantly reduce the incidence of SADS
Since Dillon’s passing, fundraising initiatives for the Foundation have included the sale of branded jerseys and numerous community and sporting events throughout the country. Funds raised at these events go towards the roll-out of the cardiac screening programme. The Dillon Quirke Foundation is a registered charity.
