MIND HK x NFL Lands in Honkers MTR Challenge

  • 15/06/2019

MTR Challenge is fundraising for Mind Mental Health Hong Kong Limited

I lost my Fantasy Football (NFL) League and now I have to visit every MTR station in one day. Might as well use my punishment to benefit others by raising money for MIND HK

My Story

My name is John Shanahan and I lost my Fantasy Football (NFL) League spectacularly.  As punishment for coming last, I have to visit every MTR station (that's 91 stations) in Hong Kong in one day, excluding the Light Rail stations and the Racecourse station.  To provide evidence, I will be taking selfies at every station. 

I thought we might as well use this punishment to benefit others by raising money for MIND HK. 

Mind Hong Kong (Mind HK), a mental health initiative, ensures everyone in Hong Kong living with a mental health problem has the recognition, support and respect they need to make the best recovery possible. Through collaborations, innovation, and training, it facilitates the work of all those involved in improving mental health in Hong Kong.

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in our lifetime. Mind HK's key mission is to destigmatise mental health and improve attitudes and awareness to make sure everyone experiencing a mental health challenge has access to the available services and resources in Hong Kong. To foster improvements in understanding, comprehensive, informational resources on a range of mental health topics and a service directory are available in English and Traditional Chinese on its website (www.mind.org.hk). Alongside this, a team of clinical professionals regularly deliver evidence-based training programmes, including Mental Health First Aid, to the public, companies, non-profits and schools. Mind HK carries out and shares research internationally, and regularly holds expert talks and campaigns with local and international non-profit organisations - all of which are in sight of breaking the stigma around mental health in Hong Kong.
