Hi, my name is Joe Larkin. I am passionate about improving my own and others mental health, this is really what drives me everyday. I have struggled many times in my life and had to fight inner demons, sometimes not finding the light straight away. When i started my running career i found that my mental health improved as i started to find my true strength.

In 2023 i pushed myself beyond limits to achieve big goals which led to running a 150 mile ultramarathon to raise money and spread awareness for mental health.

This year i’m running the Paris marathon in April and in July I am running to Paris from my hometown South shields to raise money for special local communities in my area and also Samaritans. I want to inspire people that no matter what you go through, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and there is an award on the other side of pain.

Any donations will be appreciated, thank you so much for your support!

lets go!
