A documentary in 3 parts about friendships, community, resilience, relationship, fundraising, achievements and a lot more.
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 A Lust for Life and 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.
