Well, the Australian Foundation for Disability is running, not walking, past the target for its Stand Up For Their Health campaign.

More than 400 people joined Canterbury Bulldogs captain Andrew Ryan in walking a funathon on a designated track around Penrith Regatta Centre on November 13.

The aim was to raise awareness of an unnoticed problem of obesity among people with disabilities.

The target was $50,000 but they managed to raise about $65,000, foundation chief executive officer Tim Walton said.

``The money will go toward helping us further support people with a disability.''

Andrew Ryan not only walked the walk and signed autographs for participants, he put money where his talk was. He donated a $2500 cheque.

Ryan is the foundation's celebrity ambassador.

He had received the money as part of his community person of the year award.
