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

Done, done and done

Walk 150km in October - done. My right hip - done. Realisation that my body is not what it used to be - done. Oh well. It was worth it and thanks to my very generous supporters who helped achieve $1,015 for mental health support!!!

It’s raining again

This time I had a plan. Too wet and windy to walk outside - switch to inside. Unfortunately live tracking doesn’t work but my 16 year old treadmill is still going strong. I get to crank up the speakers in the distillery and have the treadmill keep track of the kms. Not long to go and at this stage all things looking positive.

A short break

Thought it might be prudent to take a few days off to let the body recover. Plus was at the markets flogging gin over the weekend. Back at it today. Decided to break it down into 3 x 2.5 km walks a day and today felt good. Just so happens that the park next to us had a 450m walking track so 5 laps plus the walk to and from the park adds up to 2.6km. How convenient. 9 days to go and I’ll hit my commitment.
