Team Shimna! fundraising for British Heart Foundation in Phoenix Energy Belfast City Half Marathon 2026

A small but determined team of students and staff from Shimna Integrated College are lacing up our running shoes once again — this time we're taking it a step further... After the camaraderie and experience of taking part in relay teams at the Belfast Marathon in May, we caught the running bug, and it inspired us to set an even bigger challenge. On the 20th September, Team Shimna — Katelynn, Molly, Olivia, James, Mrs Murphy and Mr Scott — will take on the Belfast City Half Marathon together. We’re not just running for ourselves — we’re running to support the British Heart Foundation. We’re running for every family affected by heart and circulatory disease. We’re running for the people we’ve lost, the people still fighting and the lifesaving research that gives more families more time together. For us, this is about challenging ourselves, working as a team, and supporting an important cause. Thank you so much for visiting our fundraising page — your support means a great deal to us. Whether you choose to donate or share our page, you’re helping us make a real difference. Thanks for your support! - Team Shimna
