Walking for me, for Jye, and for everyone!

The statistics hit home.

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year? 75% of common mental health problems emerge before the age of 25. 50% of people living with mental illness will not seek professional help.

These are the reasons I am passionate about mental health advocacy, and starting real and meaningful conversations. Over the last few years, I have become more open talking about my own struggles, primarily with bipolar disorder and the grief of losing a loved one to suicide. These are important truths for too many of us, and the world needs safe spaces to talk.

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.

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. Black Dog do amazing work, and I am proud to have supported them through One Foot Forward for what will now be 6 years running.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

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