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

Walking for those we’ve lost & raising awareness

Mental health is something that has touched my life personally. I lost one of my close friends to mental health, and over the years I have lost other friends too. Those losses stay with you and are a reminder that we never truly know what someone may be going through behind closed doors. It’s about remembering those we’ve lost, raising awareness and reminding people that it’s okay to not be okay. Check on your friends, especially the strong ones. Make time for the conversation, listen without judgement and remind the people around you that they matter. 💙
