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.

The meaning behind the challenge

This challenge holds a special place in my heart due to my personal experience with cPTSD. We all know someone close to us who is affected by a mental health condition, whether it be a friend, family member, coworker, or yourself. After completing my mental health first aid training, I learned the importance of raising awareness to reduce negative stigma surrounding mental health and open up conversations to save lives. I will strive to normalise the mental health conversation through this challenge and greatly appreciate your support in doing so. Each and every one of you is important and I commit to always support, care for, and help your mental health. I am always available to talk if you need. 

Fundraising goal over halfway complete!!!


Reminder: challenge begins tomorrow
