A man who was rushed to hospital with a stroke just two days after proposing to his girlfriend is backing a major fundraising drive for the charity that helped him recover.
Andrew Carr, 31, popped the question on Valentine’s Day last year – but 48 hours later he was in Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital, where doctors found a hole in his heart.
A year later, he and fiancee Bernadette are planning their wedding and Mr Carr is lacing up his running shoes for next weekend’s Irish Heart Foundation annual 5km Love Run.
