Given the majority of us have been unable to travel home to see loved ones and friends during the pandemic, we wanted to base this charitable event about walking the Typhoons home. Over the month of June, we have been challenged to get involved and walk, run or crawl as many kilometers as we can! We are hoping all participants will be able to raise a good sum for MindHK, who are doing great work in Hong Kong around the subject of mental health. We will be basing this event around getting participants back to their home rugby clubs. For example, when we go past the distance between Hong Kong and Mt Hagen, Papua New Guinea (4,528km), we will have got Jonny Mac back to his home town club the Hagen Eagles. Then when we get to 7,822km we will have covered the distance between Hong Kong and Helsinki and thus Totti would be back to the Polar Bears RFC.....and so on. Who are MindHK? Mind HK is committed to improving awareness and understanding of mental health in Hong Kong. Through collaborative research, Mind HK is leading the way in understanding mental health problems in the city and providing its population with the right support and resources. Anyone in Hong Kong who needs help with their mental health can be assured that they are entitled to the full support of Mind HK irrespective of their gender, race, background or beliefs. MindHK ensures that no one has to face a mental health problem alone. www.mind.org.hk
