Step by step in solidarity
An awareness walk has helped raise $10,000 to benefit men with depression. Staff, families and friends of Woolworths in Melton put their walking shoes on for a four-kilometre circuit of the Maribyrnong River last week. They were joined by representatives from 15 other stores who have partnered with beyondblue, the national depression initiative.
