Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

This October, I’m taking part in the Black Dog Institute's One Foot Forward challenge to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

In 2005 I lost my uncle to suicide. The following year, my cousin - that uncle's only child - also died as a result of mental health issues.

Over the years I've had my own encounters with the black dog. My current health issues are caused by addiction that was brought on by self-medicating with alcohol instead of properly dealing with problems in my own personal and professional life.

Although I would like to aim for larger goals while taking part in the One Foot Forward challenge, I have been instructed to keep physical activity light until receiving the all-clear from further medical specialists.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk. Donations of any value are greatly appreciated (there is an option to donate your own amount). Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
