Dublin Marathon for Pieta House

Pieta House provide a professional one-to-one therapeutic service for people who are experiencing suicidal ideation, people who have attempted suicide and people who are engaging in self-harm. They also provide free counselling, therapy and support to individuals, couples, families and children who have been bereaved by suicide. In 2016 alone, almost 6,000 people used the Pieta House service. 

Donations will go directly towards these services with 90% of their finance coming from fundraising. 

There were 392 recorded suicides in Ireland in 2017. Pieta Houses vision: A world where suicide, self-harm and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care and acceptance.

On October 28th I'll run the Dublin Marathon to try help Pieta House achieve this vision.
