A Community United For A Meaningful Cause At Run For MI Life 2026

Despite the rainy weather, runners turned out for this year’s Run for MI Life, held on the 18th October this month at the Botanic Gardens, making the event a great success. Held in memory of Matthew Ivory, who was sadly taken by suicide on the 19thOctober in 2012, the event honours a much-loved family member and friend remembered for his warm personality, sense of humour and ability to bring laughter to those around him.

Through the annual event, Matthew’s family hopes to encourage open conversations about depression and suicide, challenge misconceptions and help break down the stigma surrounding mental health in the community. Event organisers expressed theirthanks to participants, volunteers, sponsors, stallholders and supporters for their generosity and involvement in the successful event.
