Stars step up to support mental health campaign

A host of Irish celebrities are putting their best foot forward in support of positive mental health for young people.

Walk In My Shoes is an initiative being launched today by St Patrick’s Hospital Foundation, where people are urged to wear unusual or mismatched shoes on Apr 26 and make a €2 donation.

The name Walk In My Shoes originated from a young man at St Patrick’s who said he wished his friends could walk in his shoes so they could understand his mental illness.
