The Difference You'll Make
Join us for the Stand Tall for PTSD Run / Walk where your choice to participate for 1, 2 or 3 hours can make a profound impact.
For decades the success rate of managing PTSD has been far too low and the suicide rate has been far too high. This event is aimed at trying to improve those unacceptable numbers.
Every step you take and every moment you commit directly supports crucial initiatives aimed at raising more awareness and creating tangible solutions to help the brave men and women affected by this illness. They have contracted PTSD in the service of their country or in their service to all Australians here at home.
Your dedication will help to fuel wellness programs, community outreach efforts and essential support networks that will empower individuals to navigate and overcome the challenges of PTSD.
Each stride you take signifies a commitment to understanding, healing and rebuilding the deserving lives of those impacted by this often overlooked condition. Together we can make a difference.
So, lace up your shoes and join us as we walk and run towards a future where PTSD is met with understanding, compassion and effective support.
