I feel a lot of charity efforts focus on the negative - what bad thing can happen if you don't donate.

I didn't want to set a goal for this fundraiser because I genuinely feel anything over 0€, I'm happy with.

I don't believe in guilting people into donating. I know myself being a student/young person is hard on the bank account.

So I would like to say, if you are not in the position or state of mind to donate, please don't, for any reason.

If you are here reading this, you've done more than you know - the more people that watch the content, press the link, share it, all leads to more raised, so you have already done your part :)

I am lucky to not have experienced depression or anxiety in my life, but I have seen others who have.

Life as a young person is becoming so much harder, and I have felt it growing up. There is so much more uncertainty, pressure, and visibility on our lives.

That is why I am running the 2026 Amsterdam marathon for JIGSAW - an Irish charity aimed at helping young peoples mental health.
