Her Hero Of The Week… Laughing All The Way To The Charity Bank

Ever wondered where all the good men are gone? Or where are all the gods? So have we. It’s that time of the week again, ladies… This week’s #HerHeroOfTheWeek goes to the devilishly handsome Joe Maloney. Earlier this year the 'No Make Up Selfie' campaign raised colossal amounts of cash for Breast Cancer Ireland and Dublin man Joe decided he would get in on the action to raise funds for the work done by The Marie Keating Foundation in aid of Testicular Cancer Awareness. Joe set up a MyCharity page and explained his mission to those willing to part with a few euro for a good cause. Joe had his six-year-old daughter apply makeup, which included liberal amounts of 'sparkly glitter', enjoyed a pint in the city centre before joining The Craic Pack live on stage for comedy improv at The Bankers on Friday night. Joe laughed all the way to the bank with a €442.26 cheque for his efforts and uploaded this special thank you to all who helped: "Whoomp, there it is! Total raised after tonight's event €482.26 (that's a lot of €4'ses!) HUGE thanks for ALL the support and a special mention to Peter O'Byrne and my heroes in The Craic Pack for allowing me jump-in tonight. This money is going to The Marie Keating Foundation and their work on testicular cancer research. (So remember fellas, they're not just for pro-creation and recreation: check yo'self foo!) Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take off my make-up before bedtime. Man, sometimes it really IS hard to be a woman . . .​"[sic] Our personal favourite comment on Joe's MyCharity page comes thanks to an 80s kid who preferred to remain anonymous: "We were both children of the eighties, let's not pretend we've never worn woman's make-up". Congrats Joe, that look really suits you. P.S. Happy Birthday! Do you know a HERO? Ladies, every week we will select one complete gentleman to be Her Hero, not without your help of course… How can you help? Send an image of someone you think is an absolute hero, and if we agree, your entry will get a very deserving and coveted place. He doesn’t have to be fast, he doesn’t necessarily have to be brave, or have ever been involved in a fight in his life… but it may help. The picture can be anything, a nice gesture from your boyfriend (providing you have one), a text from your Dad or friend, or even someone lovely you happen to meet on the street. Surprise us! Send your potential Her Heroes to [email protected] or use the #HerHeroOfTheWeek on Twitter. Until next week… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJlIGDImiU
