Maureen Mulvihill, Irish Heart Foundation, said: “Congratulations to Clonmore N.S. and all the other finalists in the Lidl Fit Factor. Many lifelong habits are formed during a child’s early years therefore communicating positive healthy lifestyle messages such as a varied diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables and encouraging physical activity, will help children adopt a positive outlook to food and exercise. These crucial life lessons will lead to a healthier lifestyle in adulthood and hopefully reduce their future risk of heart problems by a significant amount.”
