Derv Runs Her First Half Marathon

Raising money for Lust for Life & The Oasis Centre.

I'm running the Brooklyn half marathon on May 18th. Yep, I probably am physically fit enough to finish.... but am I mentally strong enough ???

Having never ran over 5 miles in about 15 years...and getting bored after about 5km... this will be more of a mental challenge for me!!

So, I want to fundraise for some charities in Ireland that support mental health.

I'm raising money in aid of A Lust For Life .

A mental health charity based in Ireland that uses content, campaigns and events to facilitate young people to be effective guardians of their own mind - and to be the leaders that drive our society towards a better future

I am also raising money for a small charity in north inner city Dublin called the Oasis Centre that helps provide counseling services for individuals and groups.

Every litttttle helps...me to keep running!
