What is the You are not alone Fun Run?
You Are Not Alone was established in 2021 by students from Villanova College, Coorparoo with an aim to change statistics around youth mental health and suicide through talking about how we truly feel. It all started with the star-studded video found on this event's home page, highlighting the issues faced by young people, which was created by a Villanova College student, Tom Price. The video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times nationwide and was featured on radio stations and celebrity social media pages.
In 2022, this awesome group of humans are running their first-ever Fun Run (or walk) event to promote conversations amongst you people and raise funds for vital Lifeline services. The event promises to be a high energy and entertaining with tickets helping cover the costs of running this fantastic new fundraising and awareness event.
