Lisbon half marathon to fund inpatient mental health unit

Feb 23, 2023

Fraser Anderson, Colin Young, Paul Gilmartin and Darren McCaughey will be running the Lisbon half marathon on Sunday 12 March to raise money for the inpatient mental health unit at University Hospital Wishaw.

The hospital has two specialist wards which both provide urgent mental health support for individuals in need of care and treatment. Recovery from mental health difficulties is about more than clinical treatment and we’re raising funds to increase the number of activities available to patients during their stay.

Fraser is a clinical psychologist within the hospital and with the help of our amazing peer support workers asked patients for some ideas for things that they believed could help their recovery. These included exercise bikes and equipment, yoga mats, sensory lights, aroma diffusers, cookery equipment, and board games.
