The Belfast Marathon is fast approaching, and this year weve got two teams - between James Street South, The Bar + Grill and Hadskis - in training! There have been sore knees, bad backs, and a lot of huffing and puffing, but our ten runners are dedicated to crossing the finish line. (Most of them never to run again, most likely!) Of course, we are running for charity. The decision was made to raise funds for a different cause, one which maybe doesnt get the attention it deserves, but one which affects so many people in our community. We are running for Aware, a depression awareness charity. Take a few minutes to watch the video from the World Health Organisation below; it offers a powerful insight into just how depression affects those who suffer from/with it. Awares tagline is Defeat Depression; unfortunately we can never defeat the illness altogether, but by raising awareness of how it can affect peoples everyday lives, and taking the stigma from it, individuals can defeat their own black dog. We have set up a donation page at justgiving/James-Street-South-Restaurant-Belfast James Street South has 3,500 likes on its Facebook page, if everyone who follows us gave just £1 we would far surpass our hopes for this effort. Please help us give something back to the community and to the people who have supported us for ten years. For those of you running next Monday, see you at the finish line!
