Aberdare Park Mile for Mental Health
September 7, 2009 Next Page »
Anyone can suffer from a mental health problem. It is not selective to how rich you are, where you live or what you do for a living. People from all walks of life have the potential to suffer from mental ill health. In Rhondda Cynon Taf, 1 in 6 people are experiencing mental ill health at any one time – that is over 40,000 people.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Mental Health Partnership is working together to raise awareness of mental illness in the County Borough by hosting a series of sponsored walks as part of world mental health week.
Choose the walk that suits you best, the walks start at 11am and are taking place in the following locations on the dates listed:
• Rhondda Mile at Gelligaled Park – 5th of October,
• Cynon Mile at Aberdare Park – 8th of October,
• Taff Mile at Ynysangharad Park – 10th of October.
The mile can be walked, run, cycled, skateboarded, whatever you fancy. Come along as a group, as a family, alone or in fancy dress and the best dressed will win a prize. The routes are wheelchair accessible and are suitable for pushchairs.
If you are unable to take part in the walk, why not come along and support the walkers or become an event volunteer.
Entrance Fee is £1.00 per walker payable on the day, for more information on the Rhondda Mile call Paul Bargewell on 01443 688770, for the Cynon Mile call Angela Evans on 01685 875481 or for the Taff Mile call Nannette King on 01443 486856.
