Olly Foley McDermott fundraising for Belong To LGBTQ Youth Ireland
Hi I’m Olly, I’m 34 and I live in Tralee, Co.Kerry! This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 to raise funds for Belong To LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland. I will be documenting my training and fundraising on my instagram page @go_olly if you would like to follow along. Every €€ raised goes directly the front line services for BelongTo so please support, even if it’s only a few euro.
About Belong To LGBTQ Youth Ireland
Belong To - LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland is the national organisation supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer young people in Ireland.
Since 2003, we have worked with LGBTQ+ young people, between 14 and 23 years, to create a world where they are equal, safe, and valued in the diversity of their identities and experiences. We also advocate and campaign on behalf of young LGBTQ+ people, and offer a specialised LGBTQ+ youth service with a focus on mental and sexual health, alongside drug and alcohol support. We respond to the needs of LGBTQ+ young people in Ireland and we help them thrive.
