Join our community to create better mental health for all Australians.
Paul Rudd takes part in One Foot Forward every year:
"I went through a bad patch with my mental health when I hurt my back and I needed a lot of time off to recover. I had limited mobility, so I started to lose contact with the outside world. Then I lost interest in doing anything at all. My mind just clouded all positive thoughts.
It took me two years to rebuild myself. So when I heard about One Foot Forward I decided to take part. I wanted to connect with other people who had been through something similar.
“The community is a big, supportive family.”
To anyone thinking about taking part in One Foot Forward, I say ‘Do it!’. You get to enjoy the fresh air and get your blood moving. It’s also a fun community thing. Above all, it helps raise funds and awareness that help is out there if you need support for your mental health.”

I’m walking in solidarity this October for every Australian who is affected by mental illness and suicide. If I could change one thing, It would be for those around me, and myself to live in a world, where our minds are free from Mental Illness. It is debilitating, it is soul destroying. It can control every action and every outcome. Many of us live every day, battling a darkness, and for every day we rise and face the day, and what our mind has in store for us, while living an everyday life, we are Heroes! We are not our Mental Illness. We are not our Trauma. We are Brave. We are amazing!
