Hi everyone, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon for Aware Ireland, a brilliant mental health charity! Aware Ireland provide counselling services all year round free of charge to people over 18, alongside information and education services to people impacted by various mental health conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. Having never ran a marathon before, it’s safe to say I’m bricking it! However, I’m delighted to have the opportunity to raise money for Aware, and I’ll try my best to get over the line in a respectable time! If you’re willing to donate the price of a coffee or pint it would be greatly appreciated, every penny counts when it comes to helping voluntary organisations like Aware. You can read more about the excellent work Aware do here: https://www.aware.ie Thanks again and best of luck to everyone else running in October!
