100km HSBC Andean Challenge trek for Relate Mental Health Malaysia

  • 01/12/2019 - 31/03/2020

Diana Toh is participating in HSBC Malaysia - Andean Volcanoes Challenge 2020
and is fundraising for Relate Mental Health Malaysia

I'll be doing a 100km Andean Challenge to fundraise for Relate Malaysia, a local grassroot mental health charity

My Story

In March 2020, together with 99 other HSBC colleagues from around the world, I will be trekking 100km over 5 days through the Andean Mountains. This trek will be physically and mentally demanding, as we trekked the mountains of Ecuador, culminating in a climb to more than 4,200 m (13,780 ft) above sea level to Mt Cotopaxi, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. During our trek, we will be camping at night and have limited access to things we take for granted: a nice bed, hot food, showers, toilets etc.

What makes this challenge interesting is that we can select mental health charities of our choice to support and raise fund. Collectively, we are aiming to raise $350,000 for mental health charities around the world.

Mental health can impacts any of us - whether personally and directly, or through our friends and family. Through this Andean Challenge I hope to raise fund for Relate (https://relate.com.my/ ) , as they work on raising awareness on mental health in Malaysia, destigmatise mental illness and increase accessibility of support for those who need it. The fund raised will be used to support their programme deliverables to develop and roll out a culturally appropriate guided online self-help intervention programme for low to moderate depression/anxiety (modelled on IAPT programme in UK). This will double the capacity of a mental health professional and is a cost effective means of supporting more people in the community.

I’m proud to be taking on this challenge and appreciate any donations to support this cause by clicking the link below. Every little helps!

*Note: The trek will be self-funded, so all the funds raised will be used solely to support the cause.
