G'day All, This is my 6th year participating in fundraising for the Black Dog Institute. This event highlights the awareness to Mental Health challenges, Suicide prevention and the elimination of Stigma associated with these personal situations. I participate for myself, my recovery, my healing and to support others. I take on this challenge of walking 50ks and fundraising for $50.00. I hope you can join us in solidarity this October or have the ability to donate for continued research and resources for everyone who needs assistance. 💜

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them. 

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of 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.
