I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. Everyone has busy lives, everyone has that to do list of things they have to do, but sometimes those busy brains hold more than what people see or hear about. So with this in mind I’m going to try and empty a little of what’s in my mind each day as I walk to support something that is close to many within my family, including myself.#Onefootforward

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of 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

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my 49th birthday! Happy to walk alone today and see how much I can get done on my own. Well 7.6kms isn’t a bad effort in 45mins! 45mins of quiet space filled my head instead of the running loops that are normally going, well till I saw the dinosaurs! 🎉☀️🕶️

Walking with loved ones🫶🏻

It doesn’t matter where the distance takes you, it’s who it’s with sometimes that makes it. Today my husband, daughters and puppies were by my side♥️

Neighbourhood walks i didn’t know i needed.

Taking the time to walk up streets I’ve never been down before. Clearing a path for new thoughts, new beginnings.

Three days walking and taking in the sights. clearing the mind and taking one foot forward🌤️

Sometimes it just taking that first step to take your mind to a different place. So far it’s been the beach, river and local neighbourhoods. It doesn’t matter where I go it’s moving and changing the narrative with each step.
