In May 2022 I’m going to be running 6 marathons in 6 days in 6 counties in Northern Ireland to raise money and awareness for mental health

Having overcome my own personal journey with mental health I am hoping to help others do the same. I hope with this challenge that I can show people that if me, an average, ordinary girl can have the strength to get through what will undoubtedly be a very hard 6 days, that they too can have the strength to get through whatever they are facing. I know I’m not alone in the mental health issues I have faced but I also know I’m not alone in having the strength to overcome them. I hope I can show people that.

I am doing this challenge to raise money for the mental health charity MYMY. They are a Co.Down based charity that has been operating since 2008. They are an organisation focused on helping people raise their self-esteem, their self-awareness and to develop a better understanding of self-care. This helps individuals acquire a greater sense of confidence and self-respect, a priceless attribute in life’s journey. They offer services such as one-to-one counselling, complementary therapies, self-help groups, men’s group, woman’s group, book clubs and bereavement groups. I’m hoping with this challenge to increase exposure of their services and raise money to help them to continue providing these vital services.
