Hi, I'm Brad, and this year, I'm going to take on the Great York Walk 2025. Mental health is extremely important to me, and I'm hoping to be able to do my part to improve mental health in my local community. I've never walked 40km before, but I love walking, and I look forward to the challenge. Walks have always been a way for me to get outdoors (and away from the stresses of University). During and after the walk, I'll do my best to update my social media with how I've done, and I'll be tracking myself on Strava!
I NEED YOUR HELP!
The Great York Walk is a 25 mile (40km) marathon walking event that will help to transform mental health by raising funds for Mentally Fit York at the University of York.
In the UK, up to one in four adults and one in ten children will experience a mental health problem each year. These statistics need to change.
So together with a great community of people - some with a connection to York, some with no connection - I'm going to walk 25 miles on the 17th May around York!
Please donate anything you can to help my target and improve mental health in York and beyond! 🙂 (P.S. Follow the link if you want to find out more about the walk and the cause).
