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 story is not unique unfortunately. After 40 plus years of trying to live with the financial, relationship, employment struggles of having a mentalhealth illness, the pain and hopelessness got too much to bare. I survived to continue the fight. But too many don't. I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone.
