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.
I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. Walking in honor of my brother John who we sadly lost to suicide on 03/02/2023 I was fortunate enough to receive a letter of parting words from John which I will cherish forever. I have shared a part of my letter below which is the reason why I am so focused on raising money and awareness of suicide prevention. Words from John 🖤 Laura, use this as a beacon to get the depression message out as I am sure you are the person that can do it. You are an inspirational person. Depression is a horrible thing and please look out for your loved ones who also may be suffering. Any small sign needs to be addressed. Any sign.
