Story

Mental health affects countless people across the North of Ireland, yet so many still struggle in silence. That's why I've chosen to support Aware NI and help raise funds so they can continue providing vital mental health services, education, and support to those who need it most.

To raise awareness as well as money, I'm taking on a challenge that will test me physically and mentally: every four hours for 48 hours, I'll complete a 4-mile run followed immediately by a 4-mile SkiErg. That means 12 rounds over two days, covering 96 miles in total while pushing through fatigue, disrupted sleep, and exhaustion.

This challenge isn't about setting records—it's about starting conversations. If sharing this challenge encourages even one person to reach out for support, or if the money raised helps Aware NI continue changing lives, then every mile will be worth it.

If you're able to donate, no matter how big or small, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you for supporting both this challenge and an amazing cause.
