The Weez Project was set up in memory of Jamie Bruno. The name ‘Weez’ was Jamie’s tag and he developed the iconic image that is now 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 who are contemplating self-harm or suicide. The aim is to encourage young people to know how to help themselves and their friends, educate teachers and parents to know more 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 around our three core focus areas: Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Mental Health & Wellbeing, and Positive Youth Development.
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 engaged over 1300 runners, walkers and the occasional baby strollers, joining this meaningful journey to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health and suicide prevention.
