A tribute for Kati 🤍

I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone - PLEASE REACH OUT! I am walking in memory of my best friend Kati who passed away recently in September 2026. She was the bravest, most courageous, kind hearted soul with the best sense of humour with a laugh that was unforgettable. She helped others through mental health support work of her own and her job and was never afraid to talk about the hard things/bring awareness to mental health. I am and will always be extremely proud of her. “Every day every hour turn the pain into power” Love you always, miss you forever, Erin x

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.

Why i/we are doing one foot forward - in memory of kati

I’m walking in memory of my beautiful best friend Kati, who recently took her own life in September 2026. She was the light in everyone’s lives and fought battles everyday for over half her life. For the 15 years that I knew her she was the biggest advocate for people struggling with mental health and was even a support worker and peer worker too and loved helping others. She helped others until the end and donated her organs. I couldn’t be more proud of her although I miss her dearly. - - it is no secret, that I too, have had my own struggles with mental health since I was a teenager. 17 years later and I am still working towards recovery but am much better than I once was. - - Kati & I have lost many close friends over the years, including my other best friend Laura back in 2018, to mental health and sadly most people in the world know someone affected in some way by suicide or mental illness. - My Sister Lauren, (my teammate), & I are walking/running to raise awareness, reduce stigma and raise money to fund research and services so that people are able to recieve the help and support they need without having to worry about costs & if the therapy provided is able to help even just one person then it will have been worth it. We are walking in honour for all who are suffering out loud, in silence, who sadly aren’t here anymore and their family,friends and loved ones but most of all Kati. I hope I can make her proud. * please note: we understand times are tough so even a donation of $1 is helpful as it all adds up but if you can’t donate, sharing this donation page would be just as helpful - thank you for your time reading this and support!
