Story

Ireland has the 17th highest suicide rate in Europe. But it has the 4th highest suicide rate for males aged between 15 and 24. Any life lost to suicide is a tragedy and more must be done to save lives and raise awareness.

Last year on August 5th 2020 we lost Eddie. We lost a great friend, a family lost a son and brother, and another promising young life was lost to suicide.

Eddie was a fantastic person who brought light and joy to the lives of others, even when his own was filled with darkness. He will never be forgotten and we want to help others who suffer as he did.

On the June bank holiday we will be running in pairs for 24 hours straight.

We will run together for the whole day to show that no matter what time of day, you are not alone, and that someone is always there for you.

We hope to raise awareness of suicide in our communities and encourage everyone to speak out and reach out for help.

We have chosen Suicide or Survive as our designated charity to help in the fight against suicide.

We would greatly appreciate your help in raising vital funds and awareness for this cause.
