Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

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

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of 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.

Good Morning I am carer for my Mum so every Friday I have to do her banking so I walked down the street and walked home via a different route. I hope I am getting better at doing this walking each day. I am feeling better every day. Cheers Sue Ayres

Good morning I am carer for my 92 year old mum and she had a fall this morning. She is okay but shaken so I decided to take all around the house 10 times this morning and not not go too far but still do my steps. Thank you Regards Sue

Another morning of beautiful sunshine and walking. went a little further this morning so I’m on the right track but early days yet. I will be like the little red tank engine by the end “I think I can, I think I can, I know I can” and I will be fitter for it.
