Former GAA player living in Cork urges people to get on their bikes for heart charity

In 2012, Cormac Ryan, who won a Leinster minor hurling title with the Dublin team, began to suffer with fainting and dizzy spells on the pitch.

A former GAA player diagnosed with a “devastating” cardiac condition at the age of 18 has urged people to get on their bikes for the charity that supported him in his darkest hour.

Former Dublin minor hurler Cormac Ryan, 28, will take on the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle next month in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation, which helped him get his life back on track after his diagnosis almost ten years ago.
