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

First beautiful day out for walking

Even though I have been out walking everyday since the start of this challenge, today the sun was shining, the breeze was refreshing and it felt good to be out having a walk. It may have been the lack of rain, or the vitamin D from the sun, or even that I'm starting to like walking daily? I think it may be a combination of all aspects, including an increasingly healthy mental attitude about exercising again. Help me raise funds so we can have a better understanding about mental health and the connection of mind and body. Every dollar counts 😃

Starting in bad weather

Yesterday I went out for a walk in the pouring rain and was soaked within minutes, today I managed to find a time when the rain had stopped which let me wall until the rain started again. I am hoping for better weather soon so I can get out to walk further distances for the rest of the month.

Preparing for next months 40kms

While we are still in September I will warm up to be able to complete, if not exceed the 40 KMs I have signed up for. Every little step counts, just as every donation counts, no matter how big or small it is. Thank you for the great start on donations, it is greatly appreciated and very motivating.
