OUR AIM
Raising funds for mental health.
Mentally Fit York is the University's fund to transform mental health on a local, national and international scale, through supporting on the ground initiatives and the latest groundbreaking research.
My take here
I'm a 2002 York Economics and Finance graduate.
I was a non British national, hence non student loan elligible, whose fees where fully funded by the Department for Education and Employment of the United Kingdom. When I returned home my government rejected the York degree and I have been denied normal integration into the labour market ever since.
I know how hard it can be to balance the mind while juggling social discrimination, financial hardship and challenging targets .
This is my contribution to uphold York as a competitive educational institution regardless of the complexity of the academic, bureaucratic and mental health adversities.
so what is happening?
Know that with your contribution this is what you will be supporting:
- I will attempt to run 26.2 miles (yes, that's a full marathon)
- This will take place sometime throughout the month of October 2024
- All the money raised will go to Mentally Fit York
How can i check on the results?
I will use a GPS tracking device and shall post what we have achieved on my Instagram account:
