Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of 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. Mental illness not only impacts a person’s ability to function but also deeply affects their loved ones. My own journey is ongoing, and I take on this challenge as a reminder to pause, to breathe, and to live in the present, in this beautiful world around us. We are never truly alone. Sometimes the hardest step is the first one—reaching out and talking to someone. So, with each step I take in this challenge, I make a pledge: - A pledge to honour those living with mental illness - A pledge to remember those we have lost to suicide - A pledge to stand with families, friends, and communities impacted - A pledge to encourage others to take that first step toward connection and support. This walk is more than movement, it is solidarity, hope, and a reminder that together, we can create a future where no one walks alone.
