Emily Behan fundraising for Mental Health Ireland in Joe Duffy BMW Clontarf 5 Mile and Half Marathon November 2024

I’m challenging myself this November to run the half marathon in the hopes of raising some money for Mental Health Ireland. I’ve been so inspired by people who are very close to my heart - who have never given up through their mental health struggles. I hope that in pushing myself to complete this half marathon, I can show them that I am with them every step of the way through their journey and I’m running this for them! In raising money for Mental Health Ireland I hope to help them to continue their work in providing support for those who need it. I’m hoping to continue to look after my own mental health, by committing to physical exercise! And above all, I’m hoping to just contribute to the conversation around looking after our minds and looking out for each other. Any support would be so greatly appreciated! I will also be paying special recognition to the Rape Crisis Centre throughout this journey and hope to raise awareness of the amazing work they do💜 Em xx

Welcome to Joe Duffy BMW Clontarf half marathon and 5 mile. It takes place in the scenic setting of Clontarf Promenade and Bull Island with views of Howth Head and Dublin bay. The race is contained within an off road promenade and Bull Island giving it unique and relaxing appeal. This year we are partnered with the Mater Hospital Foundation charity and are encouraging all participants to make a difference for critically ill patients and their families while taking part. This fundraising platform allows runners to promote and fundraise for worthy charitable causes that they have a strong significant meaning with. By registering for the race, you will have the option to tell us about your charity and the reason you are looking to raise funds. We will use this fundraising platform to showcase these stories and together we will help raise funds for some worthy causes!
