WALKING OFF THE WAR WITHIN IN DARWIN 2024
March as one and shine a light on positive mental health and wellbeing.
On Saturday 31 August 2024, you can be part of Walking Off The War Within in Darwin and help fight depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Together with them you can shake off the stigma associated with mental health.
Join Emergency Service Personnel, Defence Force Personnel and members of public to walk in memory of Nathan Shanahan, a returned solider and firefighter, and other fallen Service Men and Women who have taken their own lives after battling mental health issues. Nathan was a fierce advocate for mental health and PTSI; sadly, Nathan lost his battle in December 2016. Walking Off The War Within is one way Nathan’s legacy continues.
The Challenge – complete the ultimate 20km with 20kg or... walk any distance you can - with or without a pack.
The day is designed for families to enjoy together. We're planning to have activities for kids to enjoy as well as a BBQ lunch. The course is at East Point Reserve, a great space and scenic 5km walking track. The course is a 5km loop around East Point Reserve.
DATE: Saturday 31 August , 2024
