Gabby gets walking!

Please support me to walk a marathon to help the state of Mental health in york and beyond!

i need your help!

I'm taking part in The Great York Walk, a 40km (25 miles) walking event that will help raise funds for Mentally Fit York at the University of York.  I have faced my own mental health problems during my time at university so I know how important it is to receive proper support.  In the UK, up to one in four adults and one in ten children will experience a mental health problem each year.  So it's vital we do what we can to make a difference!

So with a community of like-minded people I will be walking 40km around York on the 17th of May!

Please donate anything you can to help me reach my target and support mental health in York and beyond!

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.

thank you!
