This year I am walking for my family. We’re going through a very tough time at the moment and trauma can affect our mental health so much. I hope we can all get through this together and I walk in solidarity with any other Australian experiencing mental health challenges due to family illness.

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

Gateway island trail

Finally managed to walk the Gateway Island Trail without getting lost 😂 The gum leaf sculpture is absolutely gorgeous and the Murray River is looking full and healthy.

First band-aid

My first band-aid of the challenge. I was wondering how long it would take before I would need them 😂 Fingers crossed I don’t wind up with anything like my first year - that was an epic disaster 😩

Walking essentials

My walking essentials - hat, water bottle, sunscreen, aero guard and my AirPods.

#selfiesunday

Half-dead and dripping with sweat I managed to get myself past the 15km mark. But oh, the last kilometre was a tough one 😩

Rain, rain go away

Arg, I think the rain is going to keep me inside for a few days but I know by now I can easily catch up on km’s once the weather changes. I created this poster using Canva. It’s an app I use for my book reviews and it’s always fun to play with 🤩
