This October, I’m walking with the Black Dog Institute to shine a light on mental health. Every step I take is for the people who are struggling, for the loved ones we’ve lost, and for the hope that no one ever feels they have to walk this journey alone. 💛 Mental health matters. Conversations matter. You matter. Together, we can stomp out stigma, show support, and remind each other that brighter days are always ahead. 🌻

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of 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.
