Have fun and fundraise for First Fortnight at the Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon!
The Vhi Virtual Women's Mini Marathon is back!
The 2021 Vhi VIRTUAL WOMEN’S MINI MARATHON IS NOW OPEN
We would love you to run or walk the Virtual Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon for First Fortnight and support the prevention of suicide in Ireland.
First Fortnight’s mission is to challenge mental health stigma and prejudice through arts and cultural action.
We run a national mental health arts and culture festival every January that creates a space for unscripted conversations around mental health. We work to challenge, inform and shape attitudes around mental health. Since 2013, First Fortnight also runs Creative Therapies service for those with mental ill health who are at risk or are currently experiencing homelessness. In 2021, our service expanded with CACTus (Child Adolescent Creative Therapies + Us) to offer these services to children and adolescents.
All funds raised will go towards helping us with our advocacy work through the festival and our services.
This year Virtual Mini Marathon takes place on Sunday 19th September!Race the real route of the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon in Dublin City from anywhere in the WORLD!!
