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.

My Updates

Day 11, holy moly

So yesterday (yes I’ve been bad at updating this on time) was a big one. I had a shift in the morning and didn’t leave the couch as my client wanted to watch the ufc. SO I decided to go on quite a decent walk after that and honestly my movement was a lot longer than I thought! I’m gonna round this one up today because I was just off, so hopefully you don’t mind. Ciao for now 🫡

Day 10 in the books

Day 10 was a bit rough but I still managed to get some good distance in, we got a little over 6.5 and honestly I’m very close to upping the goal. I’m very keen to see how the next few weeks go now that I can lock in, definitely keep an eye on this space, but, ciao for now 🫡

Day nine catch up

Sorry for the late post but I was out quite late yesterday and only just got home today! I racked up just over 9 kilometres which was a decent stint for a Friday! Anyway time to send in day 10, ciao for now 🫡

Day 8, time to regenerate.

Day 8 we finished our time in the hunter, stopping through Maitland and terrigal on the way home getting some steps in. We managed to get some decent distance in, so I’m proud of the progress we made, very keen to get back into routine tomorrow and try my best to get myself some extra steps for the challenge!

Day 7, in heaven.

It’s the last night in the hunter for the misso and I and honestly we’ve loved every bit of it. with that in mind, I probably will need to get my legs moving when I’m back in Sydney but that will be my main goal anyway! Another log for the journey to 150+, but it’s bedtime for now so, Kalinixta bethya!

Day 6, got my fix!

So today was a day of wining and dining, so with that I didn’t get that many kilometres under my belt. I’ll be keeping it at 150 for now, but I do want to get closer to 200 if anything! I’ll catch yall tomorrow, ciao for now 🫡

Day 5, we drive!

Today was the start of my holiday, luckily enough I got to move plenty and I think I got a good shift in to start the week! I think I’m gonna up the aim, give me 150km and I’ll see what I could try to do from there 🤷🏻‍♂️ see yall soon 🫡 And look after yourself

Day four done

My golly gosh it’s been a long day… Pub golf was a lot of fun but also a lot less walking than I thought I’ll be honest… Anyway here’s a run down for ya and just as a P.S. I hate the chooks…

Day 3 done

So day 3 is officially done and honestly I think I need to up the ante… I think I’ll hit 100 kilometres very easy and I didn’t want easy! so tomorrow I’m thinking of changing it over to 200 and really pushing myself for the rest of the month. Considering I’ll be going on a pub golf session tomorrow, I think I’m in for a big day 4… Ciao for now!

Day two done baby!

Day two was a bit better clocking in 9.5 kilometres over the course of my Friday. Bit of a late one as I was out for dinner but thought I’d wait till I hopped into bed to share my results!

First day in the books

Today I clocked up 6.3 kilometres throughout my first trip into uni, thought I’d do my best to be as accurate as possible and even share a pic to prove the progress! only 93.7 km to go.
