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.”

Amber Steele A tribute for All those affected by Mental Illness
I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone! I've struggled with mental illness for the majority of my life and only now am I beginning to heal. It is SO important to raise awareness and provide info on resources and that is why I'm walking. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey.

Nathalie schwab A tribute for My mum
I’m walking in memory for my mum, I lost my beautiful angel to mental health. It’s so cruel to watch someone suffer for so many years. She was the most caring loving lady, she put anyone before herself. When you loose a mother who loves their children like no other it leaves a hole in your heart. The passion she had for walking only makes sense to walk in memory of her and try to raise money to help support others in need.
