Since opening up about being sexually abused in junior hockey, former NHL standout Theo Fleury has been very active helping others who've suffered.

And today Fleury and his team are in Swift Current to help people take steps in their healing.

A Victor Walk begins at 4:30 p.m. at Market Square (after a 4 p.m. gathering). Afterwards will be a rally, then a free 7 p.m. viewing of the "Victor Walk" documentary at the Lyric Theatre.

Swift Current is the second of five stops for Fleury and his team in Saskatchewan, as they were in Saskatoon yesterday.

Fleury's goal is to raise awareness of sexual abuse, and funds they do receive they donate to their partner, the Breaking Free Foundation.

"I've found the best way to heal is to help other people," Fleury said. "It's not rocket science. Because the subject is difficult and hard to talk about, that's why we do these walks. Instead of them trying to find us, we're going to come to you and give you that opportunity to see us and meet us. If you find the courage and strength, maybe tell that story for the first time. We find that when people put a voice to it, it takes a lot of that shame and secret away from what you've been carrying around, and you realize being a part of Victor Walk, or watching the documentary, is that this thing isn't uncommon."

The documentary debuted at the Dancing With Films festival in Los Angeles, and has also been on the big screen at the Whistler Film Festival in December and North West Fest in Edmonton in May.

Fleury said the Victor Walk has gained traction over the years, and that he and his team have developed bonds with people they've met.

"This is the fourth one we've done, and it just seems to be getting more and more momentum every year," he said.
