A former Irish representative at the World Cross-Country Championships, Helena first turned her attention to ultra running in 2007. She found her true calling and immediately set an Irish 100km record of 7:52:45 to finish 10th at the World Championships. She went on to finish second at the 2007 World Trail Championships in the USA and then won the prestigious Night of Flanders 100km in Torhout, Belgium in 2008. Helena finished a magnificent 3rd in the 2009 European 100km Championships at the same venue and took 6th spot in the World 100km Championships which was run concurrently. She also won the 2009 Anglo Celtic Plate (Home Nations) 100km competition.
