Introduction

“Move It for Mental Health” is back again.

Funded by lululemon’s “Here to Be” social impact programme and organised by Mind HK, “Move It for Mental Health” is back for its 6th time. In an effort to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity on our mental health, complete 30km in nature for a chance to win a prize this March!

Join Mind HK in heading out into nature, and start exploring the tranquility of islands and green havens in Hong Kong. Participants can complete the challenge at their own pace. Simply walk or run outdoors, along any trails, coastal walks, or in parks.

Enrollment is free or you can register and make a donation to receive a Mind HK cross-body tote bag!. You can also be a #MoveIt supporter by fundraising and donating to us while taking part in the challenge - this is optional. All funds raised will go towards ensuring vulnerable groups (e.g. low income youth) receive free access to mental health support via our iACT programme.

Together, let’s move it for mental health.
