World Heart Day is taking place on Wednesday, 29th September and Laois County Council is supporting the Irish Heart Foundation by lighting up Áras an Chontae, Portlaoise in red.
The initiative encourages people to look after their heart health, and show support for the thousands of people fighting heart disease and stroke each day. As the National charity fighting heart disease and stroke in Ireland, the Irish Heart Foundation supports, educates and advocates for those people affected by cardiovascular disease living in Laois.
