The North Ryde Fun Run for Youth Mental Health is a community event organised by the Rotary Club of North Ryde, with venue partner Macquarie University and local community groups.
The 2017 Fun Run was held on Sunday 27th August from 9am to 2pm at the Macquarie University Sport Fields, corner of Culloden and Talavera Roads, Macquarie Park.
The proceeds raised at the fun run will go to fund research into youth mental health through the Australian Rotary Health organisation and to treatment programs through the Centre for Emotional Health.
The Honorable Member for Bennelong, John Alexander opened the event and Damien Fitzpatrick of the Waratahs Rugby Union, an ambassador for the Centre for Emotional Health, supported the event.
