Story

Hi everyone. I have set myself the challenge of running 16 Half Marathons between March and October 2016 while Finishing up by completing the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis on October 9th. The majority of half marathons are around Ireland with one in Madrid & Liverpool. I have currently just completed half marathon number 10 out of the 16. 

I decided to fundraise for Pieta House as they provide a great professional service for anyone experiencing signs of depression or self harm. I think we all know someone at some stage whether it be a close friend, neighbour of family member who may have experienced signs of depression at some stage. Depression is an illness just like any other illness and any donation big or small can help Pieta House to continue the great work they carry out by offering a free service to people who are in need of their expertise. 

I just want to finish up by saying that 100% of the money I fundraise during my challenge will go directly to Pieta House West.
