The preliminary findings from a Charles Sturt University study into The Man Walk have not surprised one vocal advocate who has seen the benefits firsthand for more than six years.
The Man Walk Redcliffe’s Denis Brennan says the findings validate what he, and his fellow Man Walkers, have noticed from the beginning – walking and talking improves men’s mental and physical health, and builds lasting connections.
The organisation’s founder Mark Burns started The Man Walk in Kiama, New South Wales, in 2019.
It has since expanded to involve more than 130,000 men in 87 locations across the world.
