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

Walking in memory for the family members I have lost to suicide

Mental health is something very close to my heart. I have lost family members to suicide, and I know firsthand how deeply mental illness impacts lives.

While it’s encouraging to see more conversations happening, we still need greater awareness, education, and support. That’s why this October, I’m walking 100km in One Foot Forward to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute, an organisation doing incredible work to educate, support, and bring hope to those affected.

Every step I take is in honour of those we’ve lost and in support of those still struggling.

If you’d like to walk beside me in spirit, please sponsor my 100km challenge here:

Together, we can create a brighter future for mental health in Australia.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Another day another 4.2km! 😊

After a 6 month break, I’m back to walking every day and increasing the distance I walk. I am excited to beat my 100km goal this October!

Training for my big walk this October

After a big day at work, it’s easy to come up with excuses not to go for a walk. Since I’m warming up for a big month, we decided to just do a short walk. But once we were out there, we just kept walking. We did 4.4K today, and feel great!
