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. My mental health battles began in high school, have cropped up again during and after pregnancies, and have stuck with me for the last few years. So many people suffer with poor mental health, but not many ask for help. The last few years for me have been particularly difficult and it took me a long time to stop pretending to my loved ones that I was okay. My photo is from a few years ago, when I prioritised running for my mental health. My head was in a much better place then, and I hope to get back there soon. I think the stigma around mental health issues needs to end. It starts with each of us having difficult conversations with the people around us. It's okay to not be okay! You are not alone!
