✨ My One Foot Forward Journey – October 2025 ✨ In October 2025, I’ve decided to take on something very close to my heart. Over the past two years, life has been an incredibly hard journey. I’ve been diagnosed with several mental health conditions and spent time in and out of the hospital. It’s been a battle I never expected, and one I’m still learning to face each day. Sadly, mental health struggles are not just my story. A family member took his life, and I personally know others who have faced the same heartbreaking reality. Too many lives are being cut short, and too many families are left grieving. 💔 That’s why this October, I’m joining the One Foot Forward Challenge with the Black Dog Institute. My goal is to walk 100 km in one month to raise funds and awareness for mental health research and support. Not only will this give me something positive to work towards, but it also allows me to turn my pain into purpose — to walk for those we’ve lost, for those still fighting, and for a future where help is always within reach. I’ll be sharing my journey and progress on my stories throughout October — and each Sunday evening I’ll upload my weekly steps and kilometres so you can follow along with me: 📸 Instagram: @chrisspencer81 👻 Snapchat: @spencer81au 📘 Facebook: @1981ccspencer If you’re able, please consider making a donation — no matter how big or small — to support this cause that means so much to me and so many others. Together, we can make a real difference. 🙏 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. 💙 Let’s walk for hope, healing, and change.

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.
