Werribee Hospital Foundation - 5K.OK Challenge for October
/
100% of donations are attributed to supporting our community’s mental health services.
Let’s get moving for mental health in October!
October is Mental Health Awareness month and the Werribee Hospital Foundation are encouraging everyone in the community to get moving and look after their mental health by participating in 5KOKchallenge. Mamma says this is a great family friendly challenge, you just pick any 5 days in October to stroll, run, walk, ride, swim, scoot or skate for 5k’s - we have registered and can’t wait to start to share our support!
So how does it work?
1. Register your details HERE and get ready to move for 5k’s for 5 days in the month of October. Run, walk, ride, roll, swim or something else. It can be a casual stroll or try to beat your personal best.
2. Once registered, share your personalised online page with family and friends and help them support positive mental health initiatives in our community.
3. Start your tracker and get moving! Take a photo at the end share your achievement.
4. Be proud and upload a photo of your tracker and/or yourself with a big smile using #whf5kok
Kick back and be proud of yourself for keeping active and knowing that you have helped support something great.

Mamma’s special mention: Mamma has joined the challenge too - it is a great way to keep us moving - 5k across any 5 days in October, ride, scoot or a walk! Whilst we are still remote learning until the end of October, it is another great motivation to get the kids out and about. We have made a donation page and you can access it here or why not join us on the challenge!
