This campaign calls on the public to support the sick children by donating much needed funds for patients and their families during their "Toughest Journey".

RTÉ's second series of Celebrity Operation Transformation returns to your screens this September. Award winning Chef, Broadcaster and Columnist Gary O'Hanlon from Viewmount House will be one of the leaders. Gary is 39-years-old and weighs 15st. He spends all his time in the kitchen but despite this, he could go an entire day without eating a proper meal. Instead, he finds himself snacking on fizzy drinks and jellies. While Gary used to be an active gym member, working on his feet has left him with joint and back pain. Gary hopes to re-discover his love for sport and exercise. Kathryn Thomas recently launched the annual "Happy Heart" Appeal in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation. The appeal which took place nationwide on the 12th May, has a target of €500,000 to ensure that The Irish Heart Foundation can continue to provide vital funds so that continuous CPR training is given to every community in Ireland to help save lives from sudden cardiac arrest. This year’ campaign features a newly designed pin created by contemporary Irish designer, Orla Kiely.
