You can choose from 4 options at this one day running/walking event. Stops include Port Melbourne, Brighton, Sandringham and Maribyrnong, depending on which distance you choose to participate in i.e. 60km, 30km, 15km and 5km family event. Grab your family, friends & colleagues and Stand Up, Step Forward and Make a Difference in support of Love Me Love You , a not-for-profit foundation that provides awareness, programs and support to youth mental health.

Mental Health Week highlights the importance of mateship and is the fundamentals of having support from a network of people who care during the tough times. One in five people in Australia suffer from mental illness with suicide being the leading cause of death for those between 15 and 44. Understanding that relying on key people and building a network of support to turn to is paramount, for in the moment, it can be hard to think of who to turn to.

You get a free registration fee with higher fundraising and the opportunity to be involved in a team building event that makes a difference.

    The post-event community festival on the same day and at the same place will be between 3pm and 8pm. There'll be lots going on for family and friends to enjoy, including the young-uns. There's face painting, a toddler play area, jumping castle, drinks, food trucks, music and the Easter Bunny making a surprise appearance. Those of you not participating in the walk/run can support the walkers and runners as they cross the finish line.

    Until then, happy fundraising. There are tips on the Facebook page if you're stuck for ideas.
