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

We do cry

Today’s walk was a little tougher not physically but had some time to refelct and speak out aloud to the ones above us and it just made me tear up a bit out of reflection we do cry men women do cry when times get tough. or we miss some one or the day just feels heavy and we can’t wear it any more it dosent make us any lesser actually only stronger as people and brings us together for a time to be comforted, when I got the news about Matt’s passing I was sitting in the car with Tayla and my son George and my sons found it hard to look at me as he hasn’t seen his dad cry before, I didnt hide it from him I owned it in front of me and he came over and gave me the biggest cuddle and asked if I was ok

Mates

you don’t need to have quantity you need 1 quality mate, That meets you you without judgement and is honest enough to hurt your feeling and your friendship is stronger enough to realise they were bringing you up and they had your back from the start but our mental mind didn’t realise we need a mate for a 2 am phone call or an 8 min check in #mates

The measure up

I found my self really questioning my self and fell into a deep depression when I thought I had to be like everyone else, buying a home getting married having kids etc it wasn’t until I really started to accept that I was unique and different to the norm that my thoughts had stated to reverse and I was becoming in control of my self again no matter where you are in life it’s your journey and no one else’s to rent space in your mind

The call

make the call to someone you haven’t spoke to for a while and say hello l, the only reason your not calling them now is because your ego has got in the way and the excuse is oh it’s been so long now, it’s weird, they don’t call me either, the call might save someone’s life if not your own pick up the phone text DM #reachout
