I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. What a beautiful day it was in Canberra. I set myself a 10km goal and hit 10.09km (across three walks, but hey—it still counts!). On top of that, I also had my mental health plan re-assessed, so it’s been a big and positive start to the month. You are not alone.

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.

My Updates

Day two

I didn't reach my target today but I still got 2.9kms walked. Tomorrow I'll try to get in another 10km day.

Day one first steps

Day one was a beautiful sunny day on Canberra. I set myself a goal to walk 10kms and by golly I made it, admittedly it was done over 3 walks.

I'm on the leader board . ..

lol, I think ranking 532nd is pretty good, considering we haven't even started yet.
