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.



I have struggled with mental health and so have friends. I actively talk about my mental health struggles with my team at work and encourage them to as well. Due to the fact that when I was first diagnosed i dealt with it by talking about and a manager pulled me aside and told me that I was making people feel uncomfortable and that made me feel even more depressed and alone and I don’t want any of my team feeling like that.
