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.”

To one and all , as with all humans there is always a story that is untold... All who have crossed paths I'm always here to listen but remember to ask about my story as well. No one is as smart as all of us!

I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. I recently reached out to some old friends doing it tough, I had concerns for their mental limits, knowing what they'd gone through and the way they were speaking it was important to me to talk to them and let them know they weren't alone. The same conversations others have had with me over the years. To all my mates going through the mud, I've got your back as I know you've got mine
