Garry's fundraiser for The Mary O'Gara Foundation - Mary's Story Look Beyond The Smile

Garry Longshaw is raising money for The Mary O'Gara Foundation - Mary's Story Look Beyond The Smile

Race to the Stones 2026 · 11 July 2026 to 12 July 2026 ·

Suicide Prevention, Awareness & Education Our ultimate aim in local schools and colleges is to provide a presentation to students to dispel the stigma to poor mental health and suicide and this has to start at grass roots so children from an early age can understand and accept that talking about your feelings is not something you should be ashamed off. Working closely with our chosen partner “Papyrus” we are rolling out a programme to provide Suicide Prevention training to members of staff in every High School in Preston and this will be funded by the Mary O’Gara Foundation. For more information on the free training please contact us via our contact page. Suicide is a preventable death and we can all play our part in ensuring this is the case.

Story

Event- Race to the stones

Location- Oxford

Date- 11th-12th of July 2026

Distance- 100km (62 miles)

Cut off time- 25 hours

The reason I want to do this event for the Mary O'Gara Foundation is because the work they do is so important. I have gotten to know Sharon and Paul on a personal level, and they are both amazing people who deserve to get the chance to help young people get out of situations they don’t wish to be in. If I can aid in anyway in helping them support and educate one person who’s life may benefit from their work, then every step of this challenge will be worth it
