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.

A little about me....
Mental health is something that has touched my life in more ways than one. I’ve had my own struggles over the years, and in 2014 I lost a friend to suicide.... something that has stayed with me ever since and made me realise just how important it is that people feel supported, heard and able to ask for help.Over the past couple of years, I’ve also been dealing with chronic illness and some pretty challenging periods with my physical and mental health. There have been times when simply getting through the day has felt like an achievement, so taking on a 50 km walking challenge means a little more to me than just clocking up kilometres.
I’m doing this to raise awareness, raise some much needed funds, and hopefully play a small part in helping people who might be struggling behind closed doors. Every kilometre is for the people we’ve lost, the people still fighting, and the reminder that none of us should have to go through the hard stuff alone.
