Ballymun man cycles to Killarney for mental health charity after overcoming struggles

A man cycled from Ballymun to Killarney to raise vital funds for Pieta House and to highlight the importance of reaching out for help after beating his own personal mental health struggles.

Paul Davison recently got in touch with the charity after being in a dark place for many years. He took on the daring challenge in order to raise as much money as possible for people that will need similar support.

Thankfully, the well-known Ballymun Soup Run volunteer says he has never felt happier after reaching out for help. His fundraiser has already raised more than €1,000. Paul told Dublin Live that there is often still a stigma around mental health problems in this country, particularly among men.
