Bringing It Home: Running the Inishowen 100 for Pieta House

For years, I’ve had a deep passion for ultramarathons, pushing my limits in endurance events across different places. But after three years of planning and preparing—along with incredible support from local Garda and Pieta House management—I’ve decided it’s time to bring this challenge home.

On May 9th, 2025, I’ll take on the Inishowen 100 route non-stop, from the diamond Carndonagh at 6pm running through the night into May 10th commencing on an anticlockwise route(see route below). This is more than just a personal test of endurance—it’s a way to shine a light on the lifesaving work Pieta House does. The more conversations I’ve had with Pieta, the more I’ve realized just how much they need our support now more than ever.

Through discussions with Pieta representatives and the Garda, we decided this was the right time to make it happen. Their guidance has been invaluable in ensuring both safety and impact.

For years, I’ve watched from afar as people at home in Ireland came together at 4 AM for Darkness Into Light, walking, running, and standing in solidarity for suicide awareness and prevention. Being based in the UK, I’ve never had the chance to physically join in—but every year, I search social media, seeing the smiles, the effort, and the unity across all generations. You inspire the world, and now, I want to do my part.

The support I received last year was nothing short of amazing, and I truly hope you’ll stand with me again this year. I’ve reached out to many people to help make this unusual, yet deeply meaningful event happen, and I can’t put into words the kindness and encouragement I’ve received.

If you can, please donate—every bit goes directly to Pieta House, helping them continue their essential work. Let’s make a difference together.
