Stirling student takes on 27 marathons in a year effort to support mental health charity

A Stirling student is taking on a punishing birthday challenge in an effort to raise awareness of a Forth Valley mental health service.

Maciek Welna, who has just completed a law degree at Stirling University, decided to fundraise for Falkirk and District Association for Mental Health while taking on the gruelling effort of completing 27 marathons before his 28th birthday.

The challenge began on November 27 last year, with Maciek keen to support FDAMH due to his wife’s Siobhan’s role as a mental health practitioner for the charity and for the work it does in supporting young people particularly across the area.
