Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a 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.

Beside one another: 60 kilometres for mental health and community

This October, I’ll be riding 60 kilometres around The Bend Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute and help bring greater awareness to mental health. The ride carries a personal meaning for me. In my own personal life experience, as a clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, a support worker and a registered nurse, I hear many stories. Some experiences leave a deep mark; others are carried quietly, often unseen. Each person’s story is their own, and every story deserves to be met with care. We don’t always need someone to have the perfect words or an immediate answer. Sometimes what matters most is having someone beside us: a person who will listen, offer support and meet us without judgement. Mental wellbeing can touch every part of life, and compassionate support can help someone feel less alone as they find their next step. I’m grateful for the beautiful community around us. When we make space for honest conversations and show up for one another, even in small ways, we remind people that they belong and that support is within reach.
