Topic: The Fringe: Crazy for walking

Crazy for Walking is an initiative that aims to de-stigmatize Mental Illness and promotes mental wellness. The initiative kicked off in 2017 with a CRAZY 1500km walk from Pretoria to Cape Town. At many of the towns along the route, we had expert speakers present public talks and presentations about mental illness. These talks increased awareness of mental illness and shared some insights into how to cope with- and manage- mental health. The five-week walk culminated with an official arrival in Cape Town on 10 October – World Mental Health Day. The entire campaign was sponsored by a group of key private Psychiatric hospitals within the National Hospital Network (NHN) group.
