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

Long walk in the pouring melb rain

A lot of people don’t realise, I have severe arthritis and a collagen disorder causing a lot of pain. I have needed a lot of help with my mental health challenges, especially the past year when doctors told me that if I continue full time working in my field was probably going to make me worse, due to the disease damage and a back injury. Some days walking can be the hardest part of my day. I’m proud of myself as my knees & ankles are really sore on rainy days, but after seeing how generous my friends and family have been, I put my boots on and started walking. I kept walking and ended up walking over 4.5kms today. I’m so grateful for the support that both my family and friends gave and the support that online and over phone mental health support workers have given me in the past. X
