Orygen supporters, families and friends have rallied around the Stepping Out for Youth Mental Health event, together raising more than $55,000.

The annual walk, run or ride around Princes Park, this year held on Sunday, 4 October, was established in memory of James Marcon, a young man who accessed support through Orygen’s headspace services.

James found particular benefit in headspace’s art therapy programs, and funds raised from the event directly support the delivery of art therapy programs in Orygen’s headspace centres.

The driving force behind the event is the James Marcon Youth Health Committee, who work in partnership with Orygen to mount the Stepping Out walk each year.

Thank you to everyone who came along on the day, or donated online, to support this brilliant memorial fundraiser.
