FIRST LIFT THE LID WALK & RIDE for Mental Health event being held in YARRAM.
The “point of difference” is that the walk is not a race. It is a family occasion offering an organised “fun” walk.
The inaugural Walk was held in October 2016 in Mooloolaba and has grown to include hundreds of participants and the introduction of a national series in several states and we are very proud to say we have raised in excess of $500,000 so far but we're not stopping here.
This is a great project because it:
1. Raises much needed funds for ARH Mental Health Research - 100% of funds raised go directly to research.
2. Offers an opportunity for the community to come together and identify with those suffering from mental health issues and start a conversation. To know they are not alone.
3. It provides an outlet for those suffering from mental health issues. For example, every year there have been families and friends wearing their own special t-shirts honouring a loved one who has been lost as a result of a mental health issue.
4 Will bring visitors to our area which is good for local businesses and tourism.
