Running Belfast Marathon for Mental Health

Hi everyone, my name is Paul Smyth. I am 20 years old and I will be running the Belfast marathon on the Sunday 1st May 2022.

 

I am raising money for a local cause called Move Your Mind. Funds raised will go towards future Move Your Mind Programmes which will support and inspire kids, teenagers & young adults to improve their mental health & well-being and help them to develop healthy minds and healthy bodies through fitness, self-awareness & personal development.

 

I got the opportunity to be apart of one of these courses when I needed it most. In November 2019, I tried taking my own life which resulted in me in coma. When I got out of hospital, I was fortunate enough to be offered a spot on the course which helped me massively both physically and mentally which is why I would like to try raise money to fund a programme in the future.
