A LOCAL man is organising a fundraiser at the end of the month for a mental health awareness service.

Trevor Leen from Tralee has organised the Row 10k event to raise funds and awareness for “Text About It (50808)”.

Trevor and friends aim to row 10k on a rowing machine, observing all public health and social distancing guidelines, on May 29.

“Text About It” is an anonymous and free text support service open 24/7 and is a safe space to contact if you are suffering from anxiety, depression or any other mental health issues.

“We chose this service because, in today’s society, people of any age can find it tough to meet someone face to face (especially during Covid), and this way they will be able to phrase what they want to say right and get to the point of their problem anonymously,” said Trevor.

They plan on holding a live stream of the 10K on the day. The fundraising will primarily be done online due to the current circumstances and the  gofundme page will be open until May 31st where the total amount raised will be announced.

All donations are welcome so to find out more, go to their gofundme page by clicking here You can find out more about the Text About It (50808) service by clicking here
