Rotary Club of Sunbury is preparing to host a mental health awareness and fundraising event in March and is calling for community members to take part.
The walk, titled Lift the Lid Walk for Mental Health, will begin at Rotary Park in Ligar Street and continue through the pine forest and around Clarke Oval.
There will be two distance options – a 1.5-kilometre circuit and a two-kilometre circuit.
Sunbury Rotary past district governor Terry Grant said the event follows a forum the organisation held on domestic violence last year.
“We’re doing this as a follow-up to highlight mental health and domestic violence, and all proceeds go to Australian Rotary Health … they’re doing research on Australian domestic violence,” Mr Grant said.
“The thing we really want to emphasise is this is a walk for everybody. Come along with your kids, with a pram, with your dogs – it’s not a race, it’s just a walk … it’s to show everybody’s support for victims of domestic violence.“
The event will start from 9.30am at Rotary Park on Ligar Street, Sunbury on Saturday, March 1.
