Run Alex, Run!!

Event date: Sunday 30th October 2022

Alex Simpson will be running the Dublin Marathon in October, here’s a few words from the man himself:

“I am running a marathon in Dublin on October 30th 2022- A marathon is a gruelling 26.20 miles. I run regularly and find it really helps me manage the usual stressors of life. So, this time i have decided to use it as an opportunity to raise some well needed funds for the wonderful Life Foundation.

I have been involved with the Life Foundation since my first visit in 2015. I was a young naive student Mental Health Nurse when I first visited and fast forward seven years and I now am a registered mental health nurse working for the NHS. My first thought when I returned home from my first visit was how lucky are we in the UK to have the wonderful NHS. Even though currently there are lots of pressures on services and this is appearing to have an impact on people's experiences. The NHS still provides free at point of contact services for all.

The Life Foundation work with both children and adults, and what they provide is nothing short of amazing. I would like to raise as much as is possible to ensure this work is continued.

I know and understand money is tight but if you are able to give, please do. If you are in a position to offer more longer-term support, then please look on their website see for yourselves what wonderful work all money raised goes towards and look to commit to a monthly contribution.

Thank you for all your support,

Alex Simpson”
