Finglas To Howth Summit 24 In Aid Of Finglas Suicide Network

Hi all

This is our 4th annual Finglas to Howth Summit half marathon charity event In Aid of Finglas Suicide Network.

FSN is a non-governmental support network that delivers affordable counselling for the price of a small donation. FSN focuses on improving the mental well-being of the community, with a particular emphasis on supporting people at risk of suicide. FSN seeks to raise awareness around suicide prevention by offering positive life’s skills alternatives, so suicide is not used as a definitive solution for resolvable life’s difficulties. This is an essential and much needed service within our community given the significantly high rate of suicide in the Finglas area.

In year one we raised €13,560, year two €17,526, last year we had 300 participants and raised €24,800. This year, we're setting a target of €30,000 and hope to get 500 plus people involved to raise funds & awareness for a much-needed charity in our community.

Unfortunately not everyone gets to choose the challenges they face but hopefully by us completing this one challenge it can help someone with theirs.

Lets show we can get through challenges together while raising awareness and much needed funds for a great voluntary organisation.
