Thank you for stopping by this Just Giving Page, as we mourn the loss of a wonderful soul, taken far too soon from us by a cruel set of circumstances.

This page has been created in memory of Mark Sheehan, a loving, lively and wonderful soul who touched the lives of so many people he met.   

After a courageous battle with mental health issues during 2021, Mark couldn't carry on the fight any longer and took his life in June 2021, leaving behind a loving family and many many friends he'd made in his short 44 years with us -  We live with a huge hole in our worlds at present. 

As a society we don't talk about our Mental Health and doing so carries a stigma that isn't acceptable.  We invite you to remember Mark for the good times, but also to learn more about Mental Health support.  MIND is our chosen charity to work with, as they work to provide support, counselling and other services for those who reach out in their moment of crisis. 

Mark's life was packed with love, happiness and joyous memories we created with him. In our darkest moments, it is remembering these that are getting us through and helping us live a life forward - a life where Mark is carried in our hearts and minds. 

As we grieve over our loss; it is those magical memories that we hope aid the healing. 

This page has been setup to support donations to a cause that can help others who are going through the challenges Mark experienced.  We invite donations instead of flowers so that Mind can continue to bring benefit to others.  

During January 2022; the family will all be embarking on "RED January" in memory of Mark and to continue the contribution to supporting MIND in their valuable work.  RED stands for Run/Exercise Daily - and is a great way to kick start the new year, get active, support the charity and show our commitment to challenging and ending the Stigma associated with Mental Health challenges.

Remember - it's okay, to not be okay.  Our mental well being is as important as our physical well being. 

On behalf of the family; thank you for your support and contributions.  We wish you peace, love, and perhaps a new pair of trainers if you're joining us on the RED January journey in 2022!!
