Rotarians and Rotaractors from across WA will come together with the local Maylands community on our Rotary Action Day.  This will start with a LIFT THE LID WALK for Mental Health. This event is co-hosted by Rotary WA, your ARH WA team, and the new Maylands Rotary.

​

Where:

The Rise Maylands (28 Eighth Avenue, Maylands WA) and surrounds
 

Who:

Everyone who has been impacted by or cares about Mental Health.

Get your teams together now to support world-class ARH research.

​

Why:

These walks are a great way to spread awareness of the 1 in 5 Australians across our local communities who currently experience some form of mental health challenge, and the 1 in 2 who may do so in their lifetime. Help us Lift the Lid on Mental Illness this autumn by walking with us!

Proceeds help fund crucial pre-teen health research!

 

What:
A Walk NOT a race. It is a family-friendly occasion offering an organised “fun” event, the chance to chat, get some exercise and fresh air! Enjoy a quiet suburban/residential walk, and talk with others about mental and physical health.

​

Route Options:

Walkers will be able to choose from two options down to the Swan River and back:
