What began in 2017 with Chris Barton’s personal walking challenges for mental health is now united as a national community. We walk together to amplify our impact and create meaningful change, step by step.

Be Part of the Next Impact Story
In April 2025, the first-ever Walk Festival brought hundreds together in Western Sydney to walk, connect, and talk openly about mental wellbeing. With Olympian Melissa Wu as our ambassador, the event combined physical challenge with emotional support and celebration.
Plans are already underway to grow this festival into a national movement.
