LIFT THE LID WALK for Mental Health will get you walking and get us all talking while we raise vital funds for Australian Rotary Health.
“ABOUT THE WALK”
We are very excited to share this is the second annual LIFT THE LID WALK for Mental Health event being held in Midland.
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 $250,000 so far but we're not stopping here.
PROJECT BENEFITS
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.

In the EVENT we did get cancelled because of weather or COVID.

Just in case the current walk format is cancelled because of extreme weather conditions or a return of COVID, we'll still be going ahead just differently. We'd love you to get out on the day of the event and walk and talk with us. We will shift the WALK online and do it virtually! We encourage you to share it on socials while adhering to any necessary restrictions. Given we are raising vital funds for mental health research, and it's honestly never been more important, your ticket registration donation will make a huge difference to what Australian Rotary Health research funding can achieve. Your shiny new t-shirt will still be waiting for you to collect and we'll keep you up to date of a safe place and time for that to happen via email in the event we can't go ahead on the day.
