I NEED YOUR HELP!
For York's Marathon Month 2024 I’m lacing up my running shoes to help raise funds for an incredible initiative that is close to my heart - Mentally Fit York at the University of York.
This campaign aims to transform mental health by raising funds to promote the wellbeing of everyone at the University of York and beyond, providing vital resources and support for students, staff, and the wider community. 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.
Together with other members of York's student and alumni community I'm going to complete a virtual marathon of 26.2 miles in the month of October! Every mile I run or walk during this month will dedicated to this cause, and every pound you donate will help create a stronger, more resilient community at the University of York.
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 ground-breaking research.
This could include 24/7 mental health support for York students, Mental Health Nursing Scholarships, and research projects to further 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.
