My name is Lu and I'm a research staff from the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York. 

My husband Keith and I will be participating in Great York Walk on a 20-km route to raise money for Mentally Fit York.

Your generous support will improve mental health and wellbeing by opening up mental health access within the University to the city's communities and beyond.

We will post our progress on the day in due course. Thank you.

about mentally fit York

My walk will be in aid of Mentally Fit York, which will promote good mental health on a local, national and international scale. Your support will be used to fund on the ground initiatives and the latest groundbreaking research.

This could include 24/7 mental health support for York students, Mental Health Nursing Scholarships, and research projects to further our understanding of mental health issues and the barriers to accessing support services. Your support will contribute to a range of initiatives and research projects which are decided by an expert panel of mental health and wellbeing researchers, practitioners and advocates.
