Record 33 join Menslink walk to fund young men's mental health
Thirty-three business and community leaders will walk 142 kilometres over five days to fund free mental health services for young men.
The Menslink Great Walk starts Tuesday from Parliament House and traces 142 kilometres around Canberra over five days, finishing at Yarralumla's Southern Cross Yacht Club. Nearly half of the 33 participants are first-timers, marking record community engagement.
Each walker must raise $10,000 to support Menslink's mentoring, counselling and school programs. The charity says it costs $1,800 to help a single young man through their services.
Demand has never been higher, and operating costs are climbing. Menslink keeps its support free.
