Two Dublin fans are looking for Meath jerseys from the 80's and 90's era to wear in support of little Milly Byrne who requires a heart transplant.

TD for Dublin Bay North, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and his friend Shane Ó Foghlú are undertaking the #ChangeOfHeart challenge which sees participants record a video of themselves in a jersey of their biggest rivals while raising funds for Magheracloone and Monaghan GAA fan Milly.

So Meath fans, can you help these noisy neighbours out with jerseys from your county's "detestable" 80's and 90's side? 

Milly Byrne's story

On March 5 little 22-month-old Milly suffered heart failure. She was transferred from Drogheda Hospital to Crumlin Children’s Hospital within a matter of hours.

On St Patrick’s Day she was transferred to the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle UK, underwent further tests and was diagnosed with a condition called Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Milly is now waiting on a heart transplant and will have to stay in the UK until she gets one.
