Why I Run: A Teacher’s Story

Sadbh is a teacher who sees firsthand the difference Jigsaw makes in young people’s lives.

What started as a COVID lockdown hobby has grown into something much more meaningful — a way to give back to the service that helps her students find their voice.

In this interview, Sadbh shares why she runs the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon for Jigsaw, what race day feels like, and why investing in young people’s mental health matters so much to her. From the magic of 30,000 women taking to Dublin’s streets together, to the small moments when a student regains their confidence — Sadbh’s passion for this cause shines through every word.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or someone who’s never laced up a pair of trainers, Sadbh’s story might just inspire you to sign up. Because as she puts it: “Doing the Women’s Mini Marathon in aid of Jigsaw is an incredible experience because you know you are making a difference in young people’s lives.”
