Run 4 Mental Health • 2018

Due to the recent success of the ultra ‘Running across Bali’ for Mental Health, @hennygorton decided to host another event in continued support; a donation fun run to support those with untreated mental illnesses here in Bali. There is a 5k, 10k, half and full marathon route on the 25th August. After the previous event, so many people became interested in running and wanting to continue it.. which is great and so important. Unfortunately most of the events are quite expensive to enter here so She is doing this run for anyone to enter, She just ask for a small donation, which will go to Suryani Mental Institute.

You can run, walk or cycle… it is completely up to you! It would just be great to raise money and awareness for this amazing cause. There are still a huge amount of people in ‘Pasungs’ in Indonesia. ‘Pasungs’ are a handmade prison where people often put their family members if they have a mental problem. No one deserves to be in a prison for having a mental problem, everyone deserves help.

The donations will go to medical treatment, crisis centers and helping free these people from their prisons. It’s really important to get the message out to everyone that it is ok and normal to not be ok, to have a mental problem. Many people here believe that it is because of black magic or spirits, which is why they put the affected in cages.

I would love to see as many people there, it will be a great fun event! It’s a beautiful scenic loop starting at Sangeh monkey forest trailing up via jatiwulih rice terraces and pura Luhur batur temple!
