This year, I couldn’t run 1 kilometre. Some days, I couldn’t even get out of bed. For 8 years, running was a huge part of my life. I ran consistently and competitively — until I reached a point of complete emotional and physical burnout that I never imagined possible. By February, I was diagnosed with a major depressive episode, complex PTSD and extreme anxiety, alongside profound emotional and physical exhaustion. The treatment and support I received saved my life. Now I’m running again — not to chase a time, a medal or a personal best. I’m running to raise money so someone else can access the support that helped save me. Because not everyone gets that chance. Some days are very hard. CPTSD is incredibly debilitating. But every kilometre is a reminder that I’m still here, still moving forward, and hopefully helping someone else take their next step. If you can donate, you’re not just supporting my run. You’re helping give someone else a chance to keep going. ❤️ 🙏

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
