Deans Movember Marathon for ACT

*fundraiser closed*

Thanks to everyone who donated. €1500 is going to a great service in Accessible Counselling Tullamore.

In honour of Movember, I will be running and training all November for the Valencia marathon on the 1st of December, and in doing so, I hope to raise funds and awareness for ACT.

Accessible Counselling Tullamore (ACT) is a not-for-profit counselling centre providing accessible and affordable counselling to those in the Tullamore and Midlands area. Their incredible services relies on donations and is a great resource to the community. I am hoping a donation will help honour, recognise, and most importantly help facilitate the service they provide in creating a safe space and a place to call on for those with mental health issues, in particular men this November.

I am tying running and Movember together because exercise has played a major role in my life over the last year while physical activities have been found to positively affect one’s mental health and wellbeing. Any donations are much appreciated to help power ACT and I hope we can hit the target of €420, representing the 42km and the long journey in raising awareness of men’s mental health.
