This November, I have challenged myself to take on HYROX to help raise money for women and children victims and survivors of domestic abuse and coercive control.

HYROX combines both running & functional workout stations, where participants run 1km, followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated eight times.

After reading a harrowing true story of domestic abuse written by a friend I met years ago, her story of her fight for survival for herself and her children, it broke my heart but at the same time gave me such relief to know there is hope and open doors, a way out and thats with the help and services provided by the likes of Soirse Womens Refuge & Women's Aid and the kindness from strangers.

In 2024, Women's Aid national and regional frontline services were contacted 32,144 times regarding Physical, Sexual, Emotional & Economic abuse.

In 2024, Men's Aid announced that 8,682 contacts were made, with demand growing each day.

I'd be so grateful if you could help me reach my €500 pledge, which could provide that person on the other end of the phone, or just a safe space to go.

Thank you!
