Make someone happy

Hi everyone, 

I'm doing a FeelGood fundraiser to support Pieta.

FeelGood with Pieta is about taking small steps towards better mental health and to raise the funds for Pieta House 
The small step I'm taking for my own Mental and Physical Health is introducing regular, daily exercise into my routine again, while trying to raise a bit of money at the same time for a good cause. 

My hope is to run 100km in the month of July (@ around 3km or 2 miles a day)
 
For some people this may seem easy but for an unfit 40 something year old me... it'll be a challenge.. (but I always love a challenge 😊)

My inspiration for this fundraiser was my birthday card from my 12 year old daughter to me a few weeks ago 😊 (I'll add a photo of it) 

I work in an emergency hostel with homeless women (with Cope Galway), not as a counsellor, but as an all round support worker, basically dealing with whatever comes my way on any given day.

My daughter's understanding of my job is that I've... 

'saved so many peoples lives because you made them feel happy and not die by suicide' 

It's not only homeless women who need help to feel happy and stay alive though; and Pieta House helps anyone who needs a listening ear - for free.

They provide therapeutic counseling services to people who are in suicidal distress and those who engage in self-harm. 

They rely on primarily on donations (80% of their income) to run their service so if you can help in any way (or even come for a run with me some day) that'd be great 😊 

If I can make someone happy and help save a life every now and then in my day to day work, imagine what the professionals can do in Pieta House 😊

Thank you to my Sponsors
