We marked September 2020 with a 240km run across Ireland for mental health awareness. We called it MIndfulwest Run and we decided the raise funds for https://www.alustforlife.com/ (A Lust for Life) and https://cmrf.org/ (Crumlin Children's Hospital). From the genesis of the idea to what unfolded over the months prior to it and during the run, is an amazing story of people - 20 to be precise - that came together with a common goal. What we discovered along the journey was a lot more that any of us had expected. It's a story of friendships, community, relationships, resilience, achievements, tears and laughter. It's a human story and one that I was keen to record in the hope that it may become a blueprint for us and others in the future. Keep the conversation going Thanks for listening.
