I have recently gotten into running since moving to Ballycastle, as the beautiful oceanside trails and roads make it impossible to stay inside! It has been such a gift to live at Corrymeela, in part because of the natural beauty that surrounds it. While I haven’t been running long, the Belfast Marathon seems like a great opportunity to run with others in such a supportive and high energy environment.

As a volunteer at Corrymeela, I am so grateful for the opportunity to interact with the large network that makes up its international community. Participating in Corrymeela’s long-term volunteer program has provided me with first-hand facilitation experience and new insights about the place of transformative peace building in Northern Ireland and beyond.

Hi! I’m Logan from Oregon! This is my first relay marathon, and while I’ve been attempting to identify as a runner for a couple years now, I anticipate it being quite the challenge!

Donations to Corrymeela go a long way when it comes to supporting volunteers like us. The work Corrymeela does is great for communities across Northern Ireland, so the more you’re willing to help us on our mission, the better!

My name is Thiago Albino, I'm 25 years old, and I was born and raised outside the city of São Paulo in Brazil. Taking part in the marathon is a new, exciting thing for me that I've always wanted to try but never got myself to do, and being with friends makes it so much more fun!

I came to Corrymeela as a volunteer 4 years ago, and the program changed my life. So, donating to Corrymeela will contribute to the volunteer program to carry on, bringing people from all around the world to make a difference. Thank you so much!
