A MARATHON MISSION FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Newcastle athlete Lyndsay Walker is on another mission to raise awareness for mental health, walking up and down stairs at Merewether 30,000 times.

It’s part of his October Mental Health Challenge, raising money for Lifeline Newcastle.

“I’ve done about 300 kilometres running up Tyrell Street, riding bikes, rowing, and now finishing off with the stairs.” – Lyndsay Walker.

Lyndsay has raised more than $55,000 for the local organisation, this year alone.
