Life presents challenges that are not always beneficial, and I experienced such a period, impacting my mental well-being. However, with the support of the Lurgan Men's Walk and Talk group and fellow members of One Big Dander, and by taking up running, I successfully navigated this difficult time.

Therefore, my objective is to maximize fundraising for local mental health charities. To raise awareness and crucial funds, I plan to run five half marathons in 2025 in order to do this.

All donations are vital as we know how underfunded these crucial services are in our community.
