Life is short, like Alan's life was cut short, like life is so short, like book that holiday and go, do this and live your life sort of thing.
How do you cope with the loss of a best friend at just 18? For Mairead McKibbin, the answer lay in lacing up her running shoes and setting out on a mission. In this heartfelt episode of the 'Off Your Head' podcast, host Paul McArdle chats with Mairead about the devastating loss of her best friend Ellen and how she turned her grief into a force for good.
Five years after Ellen's passing, Mairead embarked on a challenge to run 5 kilometers every day throughout January, raising over £20,000 for @mymycharity_ni and rallying 200 people across eight countries to join her. Her story is one of resilience, community, and finding light in the darkest times. Whether you're grappling with your own loss or seeking inspiration, Mairead's journey offers a powerful reminder that even in the depths of grief, there can be hope and healing.
