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

Snappy 6km with a rooted back

Being watched by a parliament of owls this morning. Fortunately no triggers today and uneventful though a beautiful morning to be alive ❤️🙏👊

Skunkhour hitting home - 👊🙌🙏❤️

Broken free, almostPrettier than that butterflyI watch you head off through this night skyThe thought of you lingers like the smoke that's drifting from my fingersWhile I sit, I see, there's a tree outside my roomMy face reflected in the pain of this moonOutside the cold rain cleanses my soul wholeThe distance between the rooms of my thoughts of us allSitting in that room, sometimes I get to thinking about myselfLove, where does it come from?For days on end, I would plead to the moonWhere can I find someone to strip my flesh back bare to where the word beginsStrip my flesh back bare to the wind that violates my skinWashing away, under the sunI vanish in the street heatMelting on tar, lost in a wave of cut-throat urban valuesLooking for some, getting too fewBreathing fumes and pipe-dreamsSliding, holdingWe're up to our necks in itWe're up to our necks in itWalking the streets of this big shitty gritty cityOn a day when I feel like I'm living too close to the big electric light bulb in the sky, shyThe rats with wings mingle about my feetWhen I come to meet a man, a forsaken manHe is alone, he has no home, no family hereNo brother, no mother, no sister, no otherHe cries to me, he is tiredWhere does he send his message?To what, to whom, to why, to where does he send it?What force is going to mend it?If we wished we could help this man and our backs would not breakBut hypocrisy only leaves us constantly bendedHe wishes to end itThe progress that eats the soul of the pastDemolished, lost and rebuiltDehumanized, regimentedWhen nine-to-five's the doctrineGive me the sky red behind the greyBuildings framed in a sunsetI'm sliding, holdingWe're up to our necks in itWe're up to our necks in itThe progress that eats the soul of the pastDemolished, lost and rebuiltDehumanized, regimentedWhen nine-to-five's the doctrineGive me the sky red behind the greyBuildings framed in a sunsetI'm sliding, holdingWe're up to our necks in itWe're up to our necks in it
