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
Jillie and asta's walk around



Throughout my life I have suffered from PTSD, panic and anxiety and depression disorders. I have fought to keep going, God is my rock and refuge and my church is my home and family and I feel that deep within me. I would not be here today without them. I have had lots of upheavals over the past 10 months. Changing jobs, being kicked out of my house and so much more. It has been very hard going and somedays it's all I can do to get up out of bed. I walk and support Black Dog and post and repost and share so much because I have people out their and family who like to say things like 'kust get over it' or 'it's all in your head' or 'it's in the past'. They just don't understand and most times don't want to understand. I love that Black Dog is out there aiming to help people suffering and to help teach others. When I'm out and about I frequently take my travelling tigers with me Tigger and Asta, they have their own facebook page. Sometimes it's a way of getting me out and about but also sometimes to talk to people when I am out. Especially if they know Tigger and Asta.
