A Wexford woman’s fundraiser is raising awareness and encouraging women to advocate for themselves after her late sister’s cardiac issue was mistaken as symptoms of menopause.

Rachel O’Gorman of Enniscorthy challenged herself to do the 12 Dips of December in memory of her sister Sandra and to raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation.
