Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a 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.

My Updates

Sista Love - Joined Forces for Wellbeing

This October, my sister and I are joining forces to take One Foot Forward for mental health.

One Foot Forward is a Black Dog Institute initiative encouraging people to help raise awareness and funds for mental health research.

For us, this cause is deeply personal. Earlier this year, we lost a young cousin to suicide.

And when I was 35, I lost my husband to suicide, leaving me to raise our young child alone.

These experiences have shaped my life in ways that changed how I choose to contribute to the world. They have also taught me a great deal about resilience, connection, self-awareness and the extraordinary capacity of people to keep moving forward through circumstances they never expected to face.

One in five Australians experience mental illness each year and behind those statistics are real people, families, friends and communities.

You can support our One Foot Forward challenge by donating to our team or to my personal fundraising page. Every contribution, large or small, helps.
