Hey there, I'm reaching out to you with a cause that's incredibly close to my heart. As someone who has participated in this event before, I've experienced firsthand the impact we can make when we come together for a common goal. This year, I'm once again lacing up my shoes to raise funds for Pieta, a charity that provides vital support for those affected by suicide and mental health challenges in Ireland and with there charity partners all around the world. But more importantly, I'm driven by the knowledge that every step we take and every euro we raise brings hope to those who need it most. This isn't just another event for me; it's a deeply personal journey. Like many of you, I've seen the impact of mental health challenges firsthand, and I'm determined to do something about it. That's why I'm stepping up to the challenge once again – because I believe that together, we can make a real difference. When you join me at Race to the Stones, you're not just supporting a cause; you're standing alongside me in solidarity with those who are struggling. Every step we take, every donation we make, brings us closer to a world where mental health is treated with the care and compassion it deserves. I know it's not always easy to talk about these issues, but together, we can break down the stigma and create a community where everyone feels supported and valued. So whether you're running by my side, cheering from the sidelines, or donating what you can, know that your contribution matters more than you could ever imagine. Let's show Ireland – and the world – what we're capable of when we come together for a cause that truly matters. Join me at Race to the Stones, and let's make a real difference in the lives of those affected by Pieta. Thank you for your support, If you'd like to know more about this event, I have attached the link below.

. On a more personal note.

Someone asked me recently why do you do it, i said  because of my mother and father and many like them. The sheer strength it takes to absorb suck grief and tragedy in life and to get up in the morning to care for the rest of your loved ones is a strength that no medal can praise you for.

I salute you and many like you

Paul
