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.
I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression in 2020 after I had a tough time at work. My dad had been diagnosed with a rare degenerative neurological disease, my eldest son was diagnosed with Bipolar and my youngest son with Crohns Disease. Life was pretty tough but with the love and support of my husband and family, I was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are not alone. We all need to keep putting one foot forward, sometimes we just need to ask for help. You are not alone on this journey.
