Hi Everyone! My name is Angela Wisdom and I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm taking part in York's Marathon Month 2024 to help to transform mental health by raising funds for Mentally Fit York at the University of York. As an individual who struggles with bipolar disorder, this is a huge opportunity to help people others. Mental ill-health doesn't discriminate and whether we're experts in mental health or not, we should all be able to feel safe and supported in talking to each other about our mental health.

So together with a great community of people I'm going to complete a marathon in the month of October! After months of preparation, I am ready to take on this challenge to raise awareness and funds!

Please donate anything you can to help my target and improve mental health in York and beyond! :) (P.S. If you want to find out more about York's Marathon Month and the cause you can do so here).

about mentally fit york

My marathon 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.
