Brian Mckeown fundraising for Suicide or Survive in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2025

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Your support is really appreciated. I am raising money for Suicide or Survive. The reason i have chosen this organisation is because I like many others have been affected by suicide. Sadly, I lost my best friend Stuart Landy on the 25th of December 2024 just one week before his 31st birthday. He was so young and its heartbreaking. When I think back to the night the we found him. The way he was, it broke me into a million pieces. It will stay with me foreverer. I've had to deal with all the flash backs to the worst night of my life, which still haunts me terribly. The nightmares never go away. Stuie was a great man, he was such a good friend. He was kind and very caring. He was loved by the community, and the community was devastated losing him in such a horrific way. I'm currently in New Hope Residential care I'm 7 months clean & sober of my 12 month programme. Losing my best friend to suicide made me realise I had to change my life around and do a full 360 because I was heavily in addiction for so many years as I've lost 2 of my sisters aswel as stuart my friend and it was time to change my life in order to move forward the right way. Suicide is becoming a lot more prone around all of our communities. Can you kindly donate to Suicide Or Survive and share my story and hopefully we can broadcast SOS more and let people suffering with mental health issues that there is help out there. Don't give up. It gets better just trust the process.
