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

Evening laps

How nice to unwind after work and school and cool down in the sweet evening air... Kids enjoyed bonus pokemon go time as we lapped the streets. Time out together, just what we all needed. 🙂

Another 5k with my sidekicks

Not sure who enjoys these walks more. These fur babies bring such joy to our lives, even on the tough days. I'm thankful for the pets that choose us, love us and let us hug them many, many times a day. A cherished pet can help improve mental health. I for one know this to be true. 💖

Beating the storm...

Headed out earlier to beat what I hope is the only storm in our locals lives today. Praying these dark clouds bring rain to drought affected areas. Drought can have such a big impact on the mental health of people making their living from the land. Research has shown depression, anxiety, mood disorders and suicide affect many farmers, as drought affects finances, families and futures. Today my walk is for farmers battling the drought and their mental health. Please reach out for help.

Park run and flowers...

Toowoomba Park Run for my one foot forward today. The route took us around the Botanical gardens. The flowers are a sight to behold! Exercising can be just as beneficial as medication (if not more), for poor mental health. Add in beautiful scenery to our walk and it was easy to reach my target today!

Sunsets and sisters...

Better late than never starting with one foot forward today. Nothing like a country walk with my sister to boost what has been a huge week or four... My sister, one of my best supports, my best friend and someone who takes care of her people. Never underestimate the power of a phone call, a message or a funny meme when you know someone is struggling. We might live a couple of hours apart, yet we check-in and have each other's back- through the good, the bad, the ugly. Thank God for sisters who throw a lifeline at just the right time xo.
