I am raising funds for a mental health charity in memory of my dear friend Gary Phelan, who sadly passed away at the start of August. Gary was a remarkable individual whose kindness and compassion touched the lives of all who knew him. Whether through his musical talents or his genuine character, he left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered.

In his memory, I have committed to running 5k every day beginning on the day of Gary’s Funeral (20/09/24) to raise awareness and support for those who are struggling with their mental well-being.

Mental health is a topic that is often stigmatized and overlooked, but it is a crucial aspect of overall well-being. By fundraising for this charity, I hope to shine a light on the importance of mental health and provide resources for those in need. No one should suffer in silence, and through our collective efforts, we can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals facing mental health challenges.

Join me in honoring Gary's memory and supporting this important cause. Together, we can make a difference and show that mental health matters. Let's run for a brighter future where everyone has access to the support and care they deserve. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
