Jason Doyle fundraising for Irish Deaf Society

Deaf Mental Health fundraising for Irish Deaf Society by completing myself in Tryka 500 Challenge on 31st October 2026 My name is Jason and I am also Deaf. I will tell you story how I begin to set up fundraising. First I was join the gym to aim lose weight due my back problem and one of my family member Ciara, who own the gym call CiFit. CiFit is a woman gym at the time when it set up 8 years ago as small permise and now into bigger permise, open to men and do classes aswell. I find CiFit is fantastic as lovely community spirit and everyone get along. Ciara work hard to get the best to you as her gym have perfect slogan "THE KEY TO A NEW YOU" which is perfect to encourage to show anyone can do it. CIARA recommended me to join Tryka 500 which will held on 31st October 2026 and I have been training for that as she have faith in me that I will complete it. Why Deaf Mental Health? The team of "Help Each Other" (organised by group of 9 Deaf and 1 CODA) run to raise awareness and support positive change in Deaf Mental Health. The Irish Deaf Society is campaigning for a fully Deaf accessible Child and Adolsscent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and greater access to Irish Sign Language counselling and mental health support. My goal is to raise important funds to make sure there is mental health service is provide in Deaf community by there own language without a barriers. What is a Tryka 500? 8x 500m running in between 8x different work out such as 1000m SkiErg, 200m Farmers Carry, 60reps Ram Thrusters, 50m Sled Push, 50m Sled Pull, 1000m Rower, 100m Walking Lunges, 80m Burpee Broad Jumps and finish off 40m Sprint run. I will team up a partner which we share work out but running together. I would appreciate for your support and thank you
