Paul Byrom fundraising for Grow Mental Health (Grow in Ireland) in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026
LADS!!! START TALKING This year, I’m running the Dublin Marathon, in nothing but a pair of Budgy Smugglers! My aim is to raise awareness and funds for Mens Mental Health in Ireland. I'm baring (almost) all, in the hope of encouraging those who are struggling to bare all their feelings and fears and to start talking and to seek help. 26.2 miles. That’s the distance between comfort and courage, between an ordinary day and a moment that could truly change lives. Every mile I run is a reminder of why I’m doing this — a reminder to myself , that this struggle is only a fraction of struggle many men are going through mentally. I'm doing this to make a real difference for those who need it most. It’s not just about crossing a finish line, or looking silly in budgys. It’s about showing up, pushing through, and turning effort into impact. If one person sees me and thinks, If he can bare all and take a risk of looking foolish, then I can call someone for help. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Together, we can take every step a little further. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Remember, you don't know who in your life is struggling. By showing support, we can possibly save a life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
