To promote mental wellbeing by building on mental health literacy in our community.
We strongly believe that building better mental health literacy will contribute to more effective prevention, earlier detection and better management of mental health problems in our community.

It’s held in line with WMHD’s tagline, “Young people and mental health in the changing world” and MMHA’s 50^th anniversary.

The night represents the stigma and darkness surrounding the topic of mental health.
Runners will be given neon shirts and glow bands to symbolise the act of lighting up the darkness, and the tagline for the event is “Let’s light up the darkness together.”
