Karen Walker

Kaz

I nearly wasn't going to do it this year as I am trying to juggling a few things at the moment, but I looked at my beautfiul daughter AJ's sparkling, sad bright blue eyes, and saw the most strongest, kindest, beautiful person I know that juggles so much more every single day and thought I couldn't NOT do it this . I am specifically running for my gorgeous, daughter AJ who battles the black dog every single day, yet many would never realise becuase thats how dam strong this girl is!. I am forever incredibly proud of her for continuing to fight this terrible disease daily

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.

My Updates

Day 3

time constraints only allowed time for 6kms today! unexpected flight home to NZ meant for busy day but hopefully I will get some kms done in NZ!

Day 2

these two made it seem doable today! it’s hard but others do it harder every day as they battle mental health!

Day 1

boy was that first 10kms hard! I didn’t even think I was going to run the whole 10kms but I had to!
