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

Camino day 6

Day 6 was Estella to Los Arcos. 21km today and the weather was perfect! Which was great after a wet day yesterday and a sore body and swollen knee. Looking forward to a half rest day in the coming days!

Camino day 5

Puente La Reina to Estella 21kms, was a fairly tough day today with rain and showers, and around 10 degrees.

Camino day 4

Pamplona to Punte La Raina 24km's today, reasonably flat with 1 steep hill climb and descent. Today the feet hurt, blisters started and the legs ached - but some incredible scenery and small towns along the way relieved the aches and pains!

Camino day 3

Zubiri to Pamplona Another 20km day, finishing in the Spanish city famous for the running of the bulls!

Camino day 2

21km From the Spanish town of Roncesvalles to Zubiri. Today's hike was a lot flatter, but still tough on tired legs!

Camino day 1

28km through the Pyrenees mountains was a tough first day crossing the France/Spain border - majority of the hike was steep climbs, reaching an altitude of 1450m, followed by a steep decline into the Spanish community of Roncesvalles

One foot forward – my camino de santiago journey

I've decided to take on a personal challenge, walking the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route stretching approximately 780km from France across northern Spain. For me, this journey is about stepping outside my comfort zone, challenging myself physically and mentally, and taking some time to reflect while experiencing something completely different. Along the way, I've decided to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute through their One Foot Forward campaign, supporting vital mental health research and awareness. If my journey can help raise a little awareness and contribute to a worthwhile cause, it'll make every kilometre that much more meaningful. Thanks to everyone following along and supporting the journey! One foot forward, one day at a time.
