Melbourne Marathon - 26.2 all the way from Ireland to the start line

Melbourne Marathon Festival 2015 · 18 October 2015 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm taking on the challenge of running the Melbourne Marathon, less than 24hrs after traveling to Australia and confronting the climate and timezone elements alongside the run distance itself in order to 1) take the next step in my endurance geekery and 2) raise funds for a great cause - Action Mental Heath "Healthy Me" service. Through friends, colleagues and family and also personal experience, I've seen the impacts and outcomes of poor mental health and fully support the need to increase awareness, discussion and assistance among us so that no-one ever feels alone and without help. The "Healthy Me" service for AMH is a new programme where AMH go into schools and encourage young people to talk about their mental health, break down stigma and give them tips on how to keep mentally well. This is a great start and I ask for your support to help this initiative and bring discussion out through schools, clubs and communities.
