On March 14th, 2025, I will be taking on the challenge of a 24-hour run around Achill Island to raise funds for Grow Mental Health—an incredible organisation dedicated to supporting people on their mental health journey.

Why am I doing this?Because I believe that we are all stronger than we think. Mental health struggles can feel isolating, but we can face them head-on and come out the other side stronger. This run is a way for me to raise awareness, provide hope, and show that with the right support, we can all overcome life’s toughest challenges.

The route will take me through every village on Achill Island, starting in Currane and ending in Dooega. It’s a long journey, but I’m ready for it—and I’d love for you to join me! Whether you want to walk, run, or simply cheer me on, you’re welcome to be part of this journey. Come out for as much or as little as you like, enjoy some fresh air, clear your head, and chat with me along the way.

I’ll be sharing my training journey on social media leading up to the event. You’ll be able to see how I’m preparing for this challenge and get updates on the run itself. Follow my Instagram page

This isn’t just a run—it’s a movement. Together, we can help raise awareness for mental health, break down the stigma, and provide critical support for those who need it most.

Thank you for being a part of this journey! Whether you donate, join me on the route, or follow along on social media, your involvement will make a real difference.

Donate, join, or follow—every step counts!

Let’s show the power of community, and let’s break the silence surrounding mental health—one step at a time.
