My challenge is dedicated to the memory of my friend, Darren Vickers

Jo Brookes

A tribute for Darren Vickers

I’m swimming in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. I lost a dear friend to suicide this year, he left behind a beautiful kind hearted wife & two amazing daughters. You are not alone, there is always someone to talk to please reach out.

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year? 

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute to put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
