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.

Day 2

Day 2 another 4kms on the board. 
For those not open to raw honesty, this is your heads up to keeps scrolling, I like to think I’m a fairly open book, and I feel like if I talk about my experience it might just help someone else, so this is about how day 2 went down!
Today I saw a new Doctor, she told me I have moderate to severe menopausal depression.  
In the past doctors have given me antidepressants and some estrogen and sent me on my way! So to hear this today, finally felt like someone was listening. 
While I won’t start any new medication just yet, I know it’s still a bit of a road ahead, but I feel like it would be helpful for those playing along at home to know how someone with menopausal depression may present … they might burst into tears at the drop of a hat, cry for a whole day without any reason, or break down even if someone simply asks “are you ok”, they may really want to reach out to friends and family, but even just the thought of it is just too overwhelming and sends them spiralling, they may feel the happiest they have one minute and hit rock bottom the next. Like any kind of depression it’s debilitating. Having the right supports in place is so important and why One Foot Forward is doing such great things, already raising over $2million on day 2!
Im so proud to be taking part in this and hopefully helping others find their voice to get the support they need 🧡


Day 1

Day 1 on the board 🧡

One foot forward - preseason began today!

Just a short stroll today to begin preparing for my 100km for the month of October. Immediately feel like a weight is lifted and a calmness like no other being near the ocean and how could you not enjoy walking with this view 🧡🤍🖤
