Hi my name is Rachel Urquhart (Urqhs or Miss Urqhs),
The National Study on Mental Health revealed in 2022; there were 4.4 million people (22.3%) had experienced a mental disorder at some time in their life.
As a member of the Hawthorn Amateur Football Club, I am inspired daily by the WINGS program the club has created. The club recognised a gap in the link between education and access to real, tangible services; one of the greatest barriers to accessing mental health services is cost. As a result, Hawthorn Amateur Football Club set up the Wings Mental Health Fund.
As such, I've decided to run 4.4km every day for a year. It is a physical and mental challenge and a chance to get out and see the pavements, ovals, and beaches. In addition, these runs will be about having a chat and raising awareness for mental health. So please, feel free to join me along the journey for any part of a run.
I will be fundraising to add to the HAFC WINGS Mental Health fund to give back to the community that gives me so much each week and Beyond Blue.
