Hi Everyone,

Firstly, Thank You so much to those of you who have donated to my fundraiser so far, to raise money for Pieta and their local charity partners. Your incredible generosity will help to support the global fight against suicide, self-harm and stigma. You have potentially changed the lives of those people and families who are struggling with mental health issues, suicide and self-harm. That is incredible and you should be so proud.

I wanted to give you all a half way update on how my challenge is going so far. As you know, I am aiming to run/walk 200km throughout April before completing Darkness Into Light at Sunrise on the 8th May 2021.

The challenge has been enjoyable and invigorating and I have been roping in family members to help support me on my walks. Early morning walks (including weekends) and later evening walks have all become a part of my daily routine and much to my own surprise I have found that I can actually run and I am now able for running 20 minutes without stopping or feeling like I am unable to breathe 😊 My fitness level is improving while I am supporting an amazing cause, it’s a win win for me.

I have been tracking each walk and run using the Strava app and you can see from the image that I have on day 15 of the challenge hit 104.8km. I am delighted to be a little ahead of my target at this stage and I am feeling positive that I can and will succeed.

You can still support my efforts by making an online donation through my fundraising page: https://www.darknessintolight.ie/fundraisers/hayleyseager

Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small, every donation makes a difference.

Thank you, in advance, for making a donation and joining this global movement too.
