I’m walking for my fellow mentally ill Australian's out here just trying to make it another day. Everyday is a new challenge but with the right help it can be just that bit easier for us.

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of 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 21

Back is still a bit achy but ive made it to the gym for a walk. I think I will go to the gym again tomorrow as well, and maybe ill get out of the house and explore somewhere new. Anyway, 3kms down today!

Day 20

I hurt my back from lying down too much!! But it means I cant move too much today so only a very light walk. Should be a bit better tomorrow and ill be able to get in some faster steps.

Day 19

Did not get out of the house today, mental health really taking its toll.

Day 18

Absolutely no steps getting done today, I am hungover and feeling seedier than a nursery.

Day 17

It was surprisingly busy day but did get to walk around the city for a bit and got some steps in. Didnt get to the gym but naybe tomorrow!

Day 16

Might not have gotten any housework done but did walk around adelaide for a few hours exploring the city with friends. Got in an easy 10kms!

Day 15

I have been struggling a lot this week with getting outside and the more you stay inside the harder it is to get out. Today didnt go as planned but I will keep trying.

Day 14

Almost half way into the month, definitely going to try keep the momentum up and do as much as I can but life is life and things dont always work out. Just knowing I started this and put it out there is improvement for me. 3km done at the gym with Bill, 5km done walking around the neighbourhood. Overall, good walking day.

Day 13

I really struggled getting out of the house today and wasn't able to drag myself out to attend my fitness class. I am thankful that I could rely on my partner to get me to the gym to get in some steps for the day. 3kms isnt a lot compared to some of my other days, but on a day where I was struggling its a huge win. Need to remember that reaching out to others when things are hard is not weak, its smart!

Day 12

Was not feeling the best mentally but managed to get in a short 20 minute walk. Not much but better than nothing, proud of just getting out of the house on a hard day.

Day 11

Did not manage to get out of the house today. I think i might have been a bit tired because I ended up sleeping on and off for 13+ hours.. Even though i didn't get out for a walk, it has been nice just listening to the storm and relaxing.

Day 10

Spent today exploring adelaide again, also went up to Virginia nursery and bought more plants! Got in another 7kms and with that I am over half way to my goal of 100kms for October!!

Day 9

Spent today walking around the Adelaide CBD with family, another easy 7kms done. Today was the first day of the Lucky Dumpling Market and it was great! It did rain a little but thats alright, it meant there was less people there and it was easy to get a seat 😁

Day 8

I ddint get any steps in today either, still not feeling well and recovering from doing a lot in Melbourne.

Day 7

No steps completed today unfortunately. The fatigue from all the adventures and driving really hit me like a brick today. I am trying to be kind to myself and rwmind myself that it is okay to have slow days. Mental health is important and will fluctuate, so i need patience and understanding during the low times.

Day 6

Driving back home from Melbourne today, did a little walking around the city for breakfast but spent majority of the day driving so only 2kms today. I am still happy that I managed to get a little walking in today despite knowing it was going to be a slog.

Day 5

Today was my biggest day for exploring Melbourne, walking around for hours just getting lost and finding things. I got in 11.5kms worth of walking in 5-6hours of exploring. I had a fantastic time and found some very cute things. I cant believe im almost half way to my goal and it's only day 5.

Day 4

Day two in Melbourne, less walking than yesterday but did some exploring by the beach and some suburbs. I am looking forward to more exploring tomorrow!

Day 3

First day of walking around Melbourne, this place is amazing for getting lost and exploring so its no wonder I got 8kms done without much thought or effort. I am feeling quite proud with my first few days effort for this challenge.

Day 2

The additional kms I completed running around before and after the gym getting ready for Melbourne. Did I say i was going to Melbourne?

Day 2

Oh my goodness I was sweating so much I looked like I had been rained on but I did it, 5kms all in one go! Had to hit the gym treadmill in the morning because I am driving over to Melbourne this afternoon!

Day 1

First kms done on the treadmill

Day 1

Today was day 1 and I was nervous about whether i can hit my 100km goal but I am happy with my progress today! I walked 5kms around my neighbourhood (i dont drive) and i did another 2km at the gym. Reaching my fundraising goal really motivated me today!
