Support Our Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?
This October, our team is taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
We're 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 our walk.
Together, we canΒ create better mental health for all Australians.

Bloody proud of ya mate. Turning such a tough time into something this good takes guts - your brother would be stoked!. You’re absolutely smashing it, ya legend. Can’t wait for you to wrap this up, sink a few cheeky cocktails, and make up for a very dry October. Bring on summer when we can get properly legless together πΉβοΈ

I lost my brother suddenly three months ago and I imagine losing a loved one to suicide is truly devastating (on top of the deep pain and grief of death already). I wish you all the best on the walk and that it brings some healing in the midst of this difficult time xx

Hi Mel. So sorry for your loss. My brother did the same 38 years ago. We ask what could we have done? But it is a disease. That hits unexpectedly and touches every family. Hug your loved ones. And keep sharing stories so James is forever present. Well done Mel and good luck in your challenge

For J, lost too soon to suicide, and for men everywhere who fall through gaps in our community support networks. I hope that this fundraising campaign fills in some of those gaps.
