My First Fundraiser for the Black Dog Institute This October, I’m taking on something I’ve never done before. Not just running 300km across the month but raising funds for the Black Dog Institute. For a long time, I’ve known about the Black Dog Institute and the incredible work they do in research, education, and support for mental health. But this is the first time I’ve stepped up to raise money for them. Why now? Because recently, I’ve felt the bite of the black dog myself. It hit me harder than I expected, and I realised how important it is to speak up, take action, and support organisations that are making a real difference. Running has always been a tool for me, it clears my head, gives me structure, and teaches me resilience. This month, every kilometer I run is about more than training or fitness. It’s about turning my personal challenge into something positive and meaningful.

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.
