Story

Hi everyone!
We are a collection of staff from Larne Community Mental Health Team. We wanted to challenge ourselves to complete the Belfast City Marathon Relay and raise money for a local charitable organisation that is close to our, our service users, their family and carers hearts - Larne Food Bank.

https://larne.foodbank.org.uk/

None of us are pro-runners or athletes (!), but we have all been working hard in our training and hope to raise as much money as possible for this incredibly worthwhile cause. We hope you can get behind us and support us and Larne Food Bank in anyway you can - it is all greatly appreciated! 
Please see Larne Food Bank's website for further information on their great cause. 

We would love to see you along the route on Marathon Relay Day on Sunday May 1st - to cheer us on! We're going to need it! :)

WE DID IT!!!!!!!

We are absolutely over the moon that both our teams crossed the finished line for the marathon relay on Sunday!

It was such a brilliant day from start to finish, we ran together and really felt the team spirit. When the blisters started and the stitches wouldn't budge - it was the thought of all your wonderful donations for the food bank that kept us going! So THANK YOU

The fundraiser is still live and we would love to be able to tell the food bank that we SMASHED our target & raised them £2k - so can you help us in our final push?!? - Thank you, Team Larne x

Morning all! 
Thank you again for everyone's generous donations so far :) 
With only 10 sleeps to go, the relay teams are starting to feel the nerves and excited energy building! 

I tried over the Easter bank holiday to further my distances and got an 8km and 10km run under my belt, but now feeling the effects - especially when I try and walk up the stairs!! 

Please spread the word of our fundraiser - we are so proud to supporting Larne Food Bank :)

Thanks again, Megan

Hi all - Megan here, the associate psychologist from Larne CMHT. I have changed legs that I am doing in the relay so I am working hard on trying to add distance onto my runs this week. I average around 5km but my leg is a lot longer than that!!! So wish me luck this week :)
