AGMI organised its first AGMI Walkathon along Orchard Road on 8 Oct 2006. Wearing T-shirts with the wordings: "People with mental illness can lead a meaningful and satisfying life; just like you and me." About 1000 participants walked up and down a stretch of Orchard Road to drive home the message of anti-stigmatisation of mental illness. The Guest of Honour was Madam Halimah Yacob, the then GPC (Health) Chairman, who led all the way from start to finish.
