The Dillon Quirke Foundation work to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS).

Our mission is to protect young athletes and their families from the devestation of SADS.

Because every athlete has the right to be screened.
#getscreened4SADS

On average, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) takes 100 young lives in Ireland every year. Cardiac screening can help prevent SADS by identifying heart conditions at an early stage, even before they cause symptoms.

 

With your help, the Foundation’s aim is to raise awareness and reduce the number of young people dying from SADS through a national cardiac screening programme.

 

Our hope for Dillon’s legacy is that every young sports athlete in Ireland, male or female, will have equal access to free screening for their heart.

 19,000+ free cardiac screenings to date

As of  November, 2025 over 19,000  screenings have been conducted.

The Dillon Quirke Foundation reached its ambitious goal of providing free life-saving cardiac screenings for over 10,000 young people in 2024, and we have screened almost that amount again so far in 2025.

 

We need your support to make our vision a reality.

Thank you for believing in our mission too.
