Hey guys I have joined the one foot forward challenge to raise funds, awareness and support for mental illness. As many people know I've had a hell of a journey with mental health and most days I feel like I'm on the otherwise. Some days not so much. Many of my friends and family have experienced mental health issues. A couple of years ago my cousin Adrian made the heartbreaking choice to end his life. I have seen and felt the heartbreaking affect this has had on so many people. I wish he had the opportunity and support many of us desperately need. I'm not walking for Adrian, but he will be close in my heart. Hopefully the walk will also be good for my mental health. I think about him all the time. So if anyone wants to join me for some weekly walking, wants to donate or just support, I can't wait to get moving. 💗

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.
