This October, I’m proud to be part of the One Foot Forward challenge with the Black Dog Institute. Walking for mental health is not always easy. Many of us taking part live with both mental health challenges and physical limitations. Every step can be a reminder of pain, fatigue, or struggle — but it is also a reminder of strength, courage, and determination. On this journey, we walk not just for ourselves, but for everyone who has faced mental illness, stigma, or barriers to participation. Whether we take thousands of steps or just a few, every step matters. Together, we show that resilience takes many forms, and that healing is not a straight path but a shared one. This wall is a place of solidarity, compassion, and hope. To everyone walking with mental health or physical challenges: your steps are powerful, your voice is important, and you are not alone. 💛

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.

I’ve joined my sister’s team, would you like to as well?

For me, this cause is deeply personal. I live with ongoing mental health challenges that have shaped my journey in ways many people don’t always see. Alongside this, I also face physical limitations in movement, which means participating in a walking challenge looks a little different for me than it might for others. Every step I take requires extra effort, but it also carries extra meaning.

One Foot Forward isn’t just about distance – it’s about courage, resilience, and solidarity. It’s about showing up in whatever way you can, no matter your pace. My steps may be slower, but they are determined, and each one is a reminder that progress is still progress.

By joining this challenge, I want to help break the stigma around mental health and encourage others to share their stories too. If you’d like to support me, please consider donating or simply walking alongside me in spirit. Together, we can put one foot forward toward hope, healing, and change.
