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

Matt Robinson is raising money for The Mary O'Gara Foundation - Mary's Story Look Beyond The Smile
In memory of Pat

adidas Manchester Marathon 2026 · 19 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 19th April I will be running Manchester marathon in memory of my sister in law Brianna's brother, Pat.

I was lucky enough to meet Pat a few times, and he always had a smile on his face, and was always down for a laugh!

Brianna will also be running the race, I along with everyone who knows her are so incredibly proud of how strong she has been over the last few months!

We may not cross the finish line together, but we’ll be starting the race together. And when it’s done, we’ll raise a glass or two for Pat.

Please donate if possible, big or small!
