The Weez Project was established in memory of Jamie Bruno. whose tag ‘Weez’, inspired the iconic logo that represents Weez’s logo.
The Weez Project’s mission is to provide help and support for young people in Hong Kong who are facing mental health challenges, especially those contemplating self-harm or suicide. It aims to empower young people to learn how to help themselves and their peers, educate teachers and parents about mental health issues, and advocate for improvements in youth mental health.
KELY Support Group (KELY) is a Hong Kong-based nonprofit organisation whose mission since 1991 is to equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities needed to support themselves and each other. We envision a world where young people are empowered to reach their full potential. We collaborate with schools and various partners to offer programmes to Chinese- and English-speaking youth between the ages of 14 and 24.
Origin of Weez Walk
Weez Walk was established by Tony Bruno in 2021 as a casual event to raise funds and awareness of youth mental health issues in Hong Kong. That year, Tony completed the walk in 12 hours and 58 minutes - a hard-to-beat personal best - but more importantly, due to the success and noise generated by his feat of Weez Walk in 2021, the idea of hosting a yearly event open to all was born.
Since 2022, the Weez Walks has engaged over 2,000 runners, walkers and the occasional baby strollers, joining this meaningful journey to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health and suicide prevention.
