Update on Mental Health
We were delighted to welcome Vicki Stewart from Mooloolaba Rotary for her update on how the mental health walk went. Thanks to Vicki's leadership, and a lot of hard work by her team it was a great success, wit over 500 walkers on a very blustery morning along the esplanade. We were delighted to provide our support to what is a widespread problem in our community, and our official photographer, Tanya took photos of some of the more brightly dressed entrants, who all had a story to tell of the personal or family struggles with mental health. There was also a lot of walkers there showing support for those friends and family who had passed away through this terrible illness, and we hope that by Rotary organising such a walk and show of support, it was of some comfort to them.
We were also pleased to see our very own Fiona Simpson at the starting line to officially start the walk with local federal member Andrew Wallace.
Well done to everyone involved, and we'll see you next year when the target is 1,000 walkers.
