Hi all,

Gosh I can’t quite believe I’m doing this… but in October 2024, I will be pushing myself to run the Dublin Marathon to raise funds for Rethink Mental Illness.

Struggling with General Anxiety Disorder and OCD throughout my life, this charity means an immense amount to me. Running is one of the biggest things that helps me mentally so I thought this might be the best way to help raise awareness for this charity. I know firsthand the importance of access to resources and support. And couldn’t be where I am today without the support I have been lucky enough to access. But it shouldn’t be a privilege to be able to look after your head and so that’s why I am running this marathon - to help Rethink Mental Illness continue their mission of improving the lives of those affected by severe mental health issues and to make it accessible for everyone.

Every donation counts towards the goal of reaching £1,250.

Your contribution will help provide vital services such as support groups, and educational resources for individuals and families affected by mental illness.

Thank you so much for all of your support and please join me for a pint of Guinness at the finish line!
