​What:  

The SUNBURY RC LIFT THE LID WALK will begin at Rotary park in Ligar Street, Sunbury and continue through the Pine Forest and around Clarke Oval.  The walk and talk format is deliberately not a race and is not just about raising funds. It’s also an opportunity for people to talk about mental health as they walk and to raise awareness of the serious mental health issues we face in all areas of our communities, schools, homes and workplaces.  We need to break down the stigma of mental illness so that people are more comfortable discussing and seeking help for their mental health issues.

Who:

Everyone who has been impacted by or cares about Mental Health​

​“ABOUT THE WALK”

​

The “point of difference” is that the walk is not a race. It is a family occasion offering an

organised “fun” walk 

​

The inaugural Lift the Lid Walk was held in Mooloolaba in October 2016 and has grown to include

hundreds of participants at 30 locations across Australia and raised over $300,000 for

mental health research so far.
