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 was an easy choice and goes to the incredible Moriarty family.
Her.ie reader Joanna Murphy contacted us to nominate Jerry, Breege, Vera, Peter, Marie, Niall, Arlene, John Paul, Fiona, and Olivia for a very special reason.
In November the Moriarty's lost their Dad to cancer in just four short weeks after he was admitted to hospital with stomach pains. In a bid to raise much needed funds for the Irish Cancer Society they decided to take on
The Sneem JFK Challenge, a 50mile stretch that starts and ends in Sneem village on the Ring of Kerry, in his memory.
The loop walk involves national, secondary, regional and minor roads with three gradual inclines and is to be completed in less than 20 hours.
The challenge began yesterday at 5am and the three brothers, three sisters and their partners and was the 80km was completed in the early hours of this morning.
The Moriarty's set themselves a €1,000 target however have exceeded that was together have raised just under €10,000.
"They are amazing people and it's an amazing feat," Joanna writes and we can't argue with that.
Check out their Facebook page

charity page here.
Congrats to everyone involved!
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
grace.oreilly@her.ie or use the
#HerHeroOfTheWeek on Twitter.
Until next week…
