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

Why i’ve decided to walk 100 kilometres this october

This October, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 100 kilometres for the Black Dog Institute — but for me, this journey is about so much more than the kilometres. I’m walking to help raise awareness about mental health and to encourage more open, honest conversations about something that touches so many lives. I’m also walking because I want to help challenge the stigma that mental illness is something negative, something to be ashamed of, or somehow a sign of a lack of faith in God. Mental health struggles do not diminish a person’s worth, their strength, or their faith. Asking for help is not weakness — it is an act of courage. Most importantly, I’m walking in support of all those I have the privilege of mentoring who are navigating their own mental health journeys. I want you to know that you are not alone. And to every single person who has sponsored me — those I know personally and those I don’t know at all — THANK YOU! Your generosity is truly inspiring. Your support means more than you may realise, and together we can help create greater awareness, understanding and hope. And it’s not too late to support this wonderful initiative. If you would like to contribute, I’ll be sharing the donation link in the comments. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps support the important work of the Black Dog Institute and the broader conversation around mental health. Thank you for walking this journey with me.
