Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a 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

Why am I doing this?

Starting October first I will be fundraising for Black Dog Institute and their work in fundraising and implementing mental health initiatives in our community. 

This is a cause very close to me as someone who has struggled with mental health issues since I was a teenager; including chronic depression and OCD. Even more so, in May this year I attempted to take my own life. 

I was then hospitalised, admitted into the psychiatric ward and now undergo weekly outpatient treatment.

For me, I was lucky enough to be able to access resources that can be incredibly difficult for most people, especially of my age, to access. 

And that is the goal of raising money for Black Dog Institute. To ensure that research is conducted to further the accessibility, training, and sustainability of proper mental health treatment programs in this country. 


So many Australians go through mental health crises every year, and all that I wish is that they are able to safely and consistently access treatments that work, improve function and prevent further suffering.


So this year I’m raising money in honour of myself, the fact that I’m still here and for all the people who need the support as much as I do. I want to reduce the stigma around talking about mental health and suicide, and remind people that it’s okay to reach out for help. 


I will be moving 50km and hoping to raise $600. I know times are hard at the moment, but even the smallest amount can make a difference. 


Love you all <3
