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

When two passions collide 🫶

Chasing sunsets and walking! It doesn’t get much better than this 🌅. Not loving my new walking shoes though.

Mindfulness practice

I have read some really great and some really sad stories over the past 7 days. I loved the post about not comparing yourself to others. As this is my first time supporting this wonderful cause, I want to tell those who are doing this whilst the ‘the black dog’ is present, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! My goodness, during my dark days I couldn’t eat, sleep, walk (unless someone was holding my hand) let alone commit to this. We’ve all heard about ‘mindfulness’ but often when we try to practice it, the anxiety makes it impossible to focus. So unless I’m completely relaxed without distraction, I can’t let go of the thoughts that come flooding in. Fighting those thoughts makes them come harder and faster. Mindfullness happens for me when I am fully in the moment of whatever it is I’m doing. It’s not always a planned session of meditation or colouring although I do love these as well. If I reach my goal at the end of October then that’s great. If I don’t then I don’t but I can tell you I am giving it my all. One foot forward. One step at a time. And rest when I need to. Quieten your mind with the knowledge that nobody on this platform will judge you. 🫶
