Why i am walking 60kms for black dog charity event

Hi everyone, I’m writing this with a mix of excitement and nerves, because I’ve signed up for something that feels a bigger than me. From October 1st, I’ll be lacing up my walking shoes and joining the One Foot Forward, the walk for mental health, to raise funds for Black Dog. This isn’t just a long walk for me. It’s a journey with a purpose. I was once supported by this charity during a difficult phase of my life. Every step I take will be in honour of that experience, and with the hope that others won't have to go through the same." The goal is to walk 60kilometers. For someone who considers a trip from the couch to the fridge a decent workout' or 'has a deep love for comfortable sofas’, this is a real challenge. But it’s a challenge I am ready to embrace.

Support Our 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, our team is taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of mental illness and suicide.

We're 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 our walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
