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.

I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as I lost my dad to suicide when I was just 10 years old. It’s something I would never wish for anyone to experience, and it’s something that has stayed with me throughout my life. I’m walking this October to raise awareness, break the stigma and challenge the stereotype that speaking up is a sign of weakness. Because speaking isn’t weak — sometimes, it’s the bravest thing someone can do. I wish my dad had felt that he could speak, and that’s why I want to help create a world where no one feels ashamed or afraid to ask for help. We need to continue raising awareness and creating more resources and support for those who are struggling, while reminding people that they are not alone, they are loved, and they are cared for.💗 If sharing my story can help even one person feel less alone or encourage someone to speak up, then every step is worth it. 🫶🏻
