Berlin Marathon Fundraiser for Liquid Therapy

On September 29, I will be running my first-ever full marathon in Berlin to support Liquid Therapy.

I’m passionate about Liquid Therapy’s mission to make the mental health benefits of the outdoors, and Blue Space in particular, available to everyone. When I struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, the ocean was a source of healing and hope for me. Liquid Therapy helps people access the benefits of blue health, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Based in South Donegal, Ireland, the charity enables young people to experience the physical and therapeutic benefits of the surf and ocean through child-led and individually tailored programs. This can include building sandcastles, splashing in the ocean, to surfing your best waves. It is a small organization with a big impact, and you see exactly where your money is going. For example, €500 sponsors 1 child to participate in one of the surf therapy programs.

Berlin Marathon is by far the hardest challenge I ever signed up to. But after 60 training hours and 500 km run I feel ready for it. Please help me support this amazing organization by donating to my fundraiser. All proceeds will go directly to Liquid Therapy, and I'll be requesting a fund match from my employer to double the impact of your gift.
