Hi, I’m Nathan – thanks for visiting my page!
This year, I’m taking part in Samaritans’ 24-Hour Challenge to raise funds for a cause that’s deeply personal to me.
When I was younger, I went through some really tough times — and Samaritans were there. They offered me a lifeline when I felt lost. Just being able to talk to someone who listened without judgement made all the difference.
Today, I’m in a better place, and I’m proud to give back by supporting their life-saving work.
Last year, I took on a sponsored silence (yes, a full 24 hours without talking — not easy for me!). It raised €550 and helped kick off what has now become its own theme: Shush for Samaritans — a quiet challenge that speaks volumes.
If you can spare a donation, big or small, it truly means the world. You never know when someone you love might need this service — or when you might.
Thank you for your support 💚

Thank You — Over €1,000 Raised! 💚
Thursday 24th JulI’m honestly so grateful to everyone who has supported this fundraiser — whether you donated, shared, or simply took the time to read my story.
When I was younger, I went through some incredibly difficult times, and Samaritans were there when I didn’t know where else to turn. They listened without judgement, without pressure — just a calm voice when I needed it most.
That’s why this fundraiser means so much to me. Reaching over €1,000 is something I never expected, and I’ve now increased the target to €1,200 as we head into the final few days before I take on the Shush for Samaritans 24-hour silence challenge this Saturday.
The support so far has been overwhelming, and I truly can’t thank you enough. Every donation helps keep this vital service running — so that someone else, just like I once was, has someone to talk to when they need it most.
Let’s keep going — we’re nearly there! 💚

Almost at €1,000 – Thank You So Much! 💚
Monday 21st JulTo everyone who’s donated, shared, or taken the time to read my story – thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We’re now so close to €1,000 raised and I honestly can’t believe the support this has received already. It’s been overwhelming in the best possible way.
Every share, every euro, every kind word – it all makes such a difference.
If you’ve already donated, thank you again – and if you’re just visiting the page, please consider supporting or sharing the link. Just one final push this week and we’ll hit the target!
Let’s do this together 💚

💚 Thank you all so much! 💚
Saturday 28th JunWe’re only just getting started, but I’m already blown away by the kindness and support everyone has shown for my Shush for Samaritans fundraiser.
Your donations, messages, and shares mean so much, and they’re already helping Samaritans continue their vital work supporting mental health and those in need across Ireland.
Every euro raised makes a difference, and I’m so grateful to have such incredible support behind me as I prepare for my 24-hour sponsored silence.
If you’d like to share the page or get involved, it would be amazing to keep the momentum going 💚
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.

The Quietest Start to Something Powerful – Shush for Samaritans Begins!
Wednesday 25th JunI'm officially back for this year’s Samaritans 24-Hour Challenge — and I couldn’t be more proud to kick things off.
Last year, I took on a sponsored silence and raised €550 for Samaritans Ireland. What started as a personal act of gratitude has now become a full campaign theme: Shush for Samaritans — and I’m honoured to be part of it again.
The challenge may be quiet, but the message is loud and clear: support is always there, and no one should have to face tough times alone.
I’ll be sharing updates as I go — thank you for following along and for all the support 💚
