Story

Hello everyone,

I am taking on this challenge of running the coast of Northern Ireland to raise money for Aware NI. It’s around 230 mile which I aim to complete over 8 days.

Aware do lots a great work around the country. They help people understand the importance of good mental health and encourage open conversations about problems in life. This is something I’ve started to feel strongly about recently .

You never really know what’s going on in someone’s life. I’ve had experiences recently with people close to me who have been having a hard time and don’t know how to talk about it. It’s important that we can feel comfortable with talking and be open to help without thinking it’s a weakness.

I hope to encourage people to be more open and ask for help or advice when they need it.

Thanks for any donations and support
