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.
As someone who lives with mental illnesses and goes through cycles I know how hard it can be. Sometimes all I want to do is stay home and be a hermit. My own health mentally and physically go up and down. I have periods where I find it easy to get out and walk, run and exercise and times where it is so hard to even think about it. I could not get through my days without God and a very short list of people I really trust and lean on. I’m walking and running in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone.
