4km 4 R U OK? day

EVENT DETAILS

On Thursday the 8th of September UQLIT, UQWN, UQEUS, UQCS, UQSKIRTS and UQWellbeing will be hosting a 4km fun run (or walk!) fundraiser, all about inspiring everyone to ask that simple but important question, "are you OK?" and start a conversation that could change a life.

We believe in the work of R U OK?, an organisation working to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people in their world and lend support when they are struggling with life.

Conversations that are geared towards helping people feel supported and connected can make a difference. When we invest more time in our relationships, it can make it easier for people to speak up, access help if needed and access it early. That's why at our fun run we'll be encouraging everyone to make staying connected and asking "are you OK?" a part of their everyday.

The event will start and end at Student Central,  with two routes, one for those who prefer to run and the other for walking. These routes will be posted closer to the event! After the run/walk, we will be providing snacks and water. We will also hold a bake sale with all the money raised going to our fundraising pool. 

We ask that you please wear something yellow and make a gold coin (or more!) donation to support a great cause. We will also be accepting donations on the date through cash or card. 

This event is open to any student, regardless of the society you are a member of. Even if you don’t want to participate, please support the event by sharing the event or the fundraising link.
