Tiernan O Grady fundraising for Action Mental Health in Waterside Half Marathon 2026
In memory of my friend Oliver Miller, we lost him this past weekend after he courageously battled mental health challenges. He was just 24. In honour of Oliver, my friends and I are running a half marathon to raise funds for Action Mental Health, a charity that provides vital support for those struggling with mental illness. Any donation, big or small, will help make a difference. Thank you so much for your support and for keeping Oliver’s memory alive.
