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.

My Updates

Watch This Space

The last 12 month have been another roller-coaster (which is generally the case when living with Bipolar).

The good news is that although I have had some major triggers since October 2024, I was able to access my supports and lessons learnt along the way to avoid a full blown episode of becoming hypomanic or chronic depression.

Along the way I have changed churches and moved out of home for a period of time - both related to mental health issues. I'll share more on this later.

We also had 2 new additions to the family - Kirby and Microwave, our 2 adorable cats (well, the latter is still a mischievous kitten). More on them later too.

Welcome to a glimpse into my life - struggles and all!
